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.)
Ex-Spacemen 3 sound-scaper Pete Kember (aka Sonic Boom) produced and Flaming Lips collaborator David Fridmann handled mixing duties. Congratulations drops April 13th on Sony/Columbia. Apparently the title track leaked today too. Download the less manic, but still drug-addled ballad over at Hype Machine.
