Album artwork

Psych-pop darlings MGMT from Connecticut have their 5th LP, baptized LOSS OF LIFE out.

NME: “A career highlight ‘Loss of Life’ is imbued with just enough sweetness that by the time it reaches its overarching message – “nothing prepares you for loss of life” – it doesn’t just make you want to prepare yourself, it makes you excited to do so.” Score: 4/5.

TUTV: MGMT’s new record is stuffed with 60s/70s psych-pop vibes and its era’s layered harmonies. Echoes of The Byrds, Beach Boys, The Beatles, and other related vocal-driven bands from those great decades are everywhere on ‘Loss Of Life‘.

Lead singer Andrew VanWyngarden’s alluring voice wouldn’t be out of place in one
of the aforementioned bands and is instrumental in MGMT’s sonic universe.

For the duo writing easygoing, infectious,
mainstream hit tunes isn’t a priority anymore.

It’s now more about song-writing than about tune-writing. Mind you, easy-listening melodiousness is still key in their work but less dominant. They described the new
album as “a group of songs about love and change, first and foremost.” The tone is introspective, warm-hearted and melancholic, with several yearning musings that
slowly but surely win over your aural attention, and will stay with you for a long time.

My fav tracks: Dancing In Babylon, Bubblegum Dog, Nothing Changes, and Phradie’s Song.

Psych-pop rockers MGMT from Middletown,
Connecticut are back in business after 5 years.

They announced album number 5, a couple of weeks
ago. It’s named LOSS OF LIFE and will hit the streets on
23 February 2024.

They already dropped 2 appetizers, of which the latest BUBBLEGUM DOG
got my aural attention the most. It’s actually a lazy moving tune peppered
with crazed guitar voltage in the middle. The track has a wacky video clip.
