New MGMT cover art looks like an 80s drug trip
Everyone who heard MGMT’s debut album, Oracular Spectacular, knew these guys were trippy. I mean, even if you didn’t hear the music, you could have just looked at the cover art.
Well, the boys have outdone themselves in the visual weirdness category with their sophomore album, Congratulations, which is due out on April 13. Here’s the cover art:
Wow. That looks to me like someone dropped acid and then watched a 24 hour combined marathon of The Itchy and Scratchy Show and Nick Jr. cartoons bathed in the DayGlo and neon colors of the 80s.
I’m sure for some people, this art works really well. I’m not really digging it, but that’s not going to put a damper on my excitement for the music.
The full track list for Congratulations is after the jump:
1. “It’s Working”
2. “Song for Dan Treacy”
3. “Someone’s Missing”
4. “Flash Delirium”
5. “I Found a Whistle”
6. “Siberian Breaks”
7. “Brian Eno”
8. “Lady Dada’s Nightmare”
9. “Congratulations”
