*Checks MGMT off the list* Okay, so MGMT’s sophomore album, Congratulations, is one we are really looking forward to and today the duo served us all with a free download of a single song entitled “Flash Delirium.” We were already made aware that this album would be on the other side of the fence of what Oracular Spectacular was.
This song is definitely no “Electric Feel” or “Kids”; the singles that made them the huge crossover success they are. The song is a bit closer in sound to “The Handshake,” though. All sorts of uniformity is lost in the song with a flute sound here, a whisper there, and other pounding sounds everywhere.
By the sound of this new MGMT song they want to eradicate all traces of them ever having mainstream success. Of course this will cause direct some fans away and regain some new and even original ones.
