The latest MGMT vid is pretty strange, but that's as surprising as green grass, pink cotton candy, and blue skies. The "Congratulations" clip finds the psych-pop duo traversing a desert (another planet?), as their four-legged creature-pal disintegrates one body part at a time. We have the video. More

True to their name, MGMT get to work in their new video for Congratulations track "It's Working," building an impossible machine. While not as disturbing as their clip for "Flash Delirium," the band's new video has its share of weirdness, as their strange device they construct seems to have the ability to both shrink people and change their sex (plus it makes ice cream!). We have the video. More

MGMT is taking the sounds of forthcoming sophomore effort, the potentially polarizing and fan-ejecting Congratulations (out April 13), on the road this spring and summer, with a string of tour dates just announced. Not going to be able to make it out to Coachella, Lollapalooza, or any of their other tour stops? Fret not, you can at least catch them on Saturday Night Live on April 24 and The Late Show with David Letterman on May 11, or you could watch their bizarre and disturbing video for "Flash Delirium" right here. More

MGMT has unveiled the video for "Flash Delirium," the first single off of sophomore album Congratulations (even though they supposedly weren't releasing any singles from the album). The trippy video starts off innocently enough, with Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden being welcomed home to a big mansion, but soon it goes to some very dark and disturbing places. Let's put it this way, creepy puppets and a hole in Goldwasser's throat that sings aren't the weirdest things in this clip. More

Fans of MGMT's breakout singles "Kids" and "Electric Feel" may not flip as many cartwheels for "Flash Delirium," but here goes nothing... The Congratulations single is a head-scratching piece of psychedelia. During its 4:16 runtime we get snippets of Bowie, T. Rex, Ween, '60s California surf, Middle Eastern music, straight-up acid rock, and even a flute solo. (Overall, it seems like they're suffering from a bad case of self-sabotage.) More
