MGMT: Little Dark Age

MGMT

This MGMT band needs no introduction, since their formation in 2006, the duo (Benjamin Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden) has been a favorite among hipsters.

After a long five year absent since MGMT’s last self-titled album, the duo (Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser) is back with their fourth album Little Dark Age. The record was produced by MGMT,
Patrick Wimberly (Chairlift, Kelela, Blood Orange), and long-time collaborator Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Spoon, Tame Impala).



While the two worked on and off, it was only with the recent election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, was when MGMT was really inspired to finish their fourth album. Of the election, VanWyngarden questioned, “We were like, ‘Wow, is it actually possible for the most impossible thing to happen? […] Apparently, we were more inspired to write pop music after evil took over the world.”
