It’s been four years since electro pop rockers MGMT released their self-titled third album and now the duo is finally back with a new song and a new sound. Entering what can be best described as their ‘The Cure’ phase (both musically and aesthetically) Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser have dropped a dark and retro single, titled appropriately “Little Dark Age.”
In the video, directed by David MacNutt and Nathaniel Axel, the band is joined by a group of inhabitants in what looks like a haunted mansion. Magic tricks, fruit chopping, and seemingly sinister scenes in the hallway and cemetery fill up the five minute video.
Prior to debuting the song on Beats 1 and releasing the music video today, MGMT posted the song’s lyrics on their Instagram page. The band are planning on releasing their fourth album in 2018, which is also titled Little Dark Age, though have yet to confirm a specific date.
