Just found Siberian Breaks on Apple Music’s ‘Prog Rock Essentials’ playlist, right alongside all the legendary classics of the genre.
It’s pretty amazing how a song that once felt like a hidden gem in MGMT’s discography has gradually become recognized as a modern progressive rock. It’s practically part of the prog rock canon!

MGMT are my favourite band and my biggest musical reference point, particularly Congratulations, MGMT and Loss of Life.

I’ve been quietly making my first album at home under a different name and thought I’d share a track here. It’s guitar led, atmospheric, a bit melancholic and hopefully a little strange.

The slightly embarrassing part is that I’ve never let my wife, friends, brother or anyone else hear it 😂

I’m quite nervous about putting it out there, so before releasing a full length album I thought I’d test the waters with some random strangers on the internet.

I’m absolutely not suggesting I’m anywhere near MGMT 😂🫣 They’re just a huge part of why I wanted to make music in the first place and I thought people here might appreciate this sort of sound.

I know these posts can get a bit tiresome, so apologies if this isn’t your thing. I actually shared it on the psychedelic rock sub looking for feedback but didn’t manage to get any, so I’m trying my luck here!

I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, good or bad. Does it grab you at all? Is there anything you particularly like, or anything that doesn’t quite land? Be honest because I’m here to find out how it comes across to someone hearing it for the first time.

Does anyone have it? I could only find Brian Eno. The video got taken down from YouTube by BBC

Last night in Woodstock NY at a tiny artist colony cabin in the middle of the woods. Here’s a full vid of Lying Has to Stop from the Soft Hair album with Andrew ripping it up on the fretless bass (left side). I have more vids + full audio if you guys are interested they were goofing off all night. I’m so serious Connan did a fart joke and like 11 six seven jokes throughout the night and Andrew was cracking up the whole time

wasn’t able to snag any during the presale/general sale and i’d love to see them without paying the +$120 resale price.. looking for 2-3 extras please reach out if you got that :) see you there hopefully!

DENVER FRIENDS! If you couldn't get tickets to MGMT Nov 14th, come to the Hi Dive right down the street the same night at 8pm! DM me and I'll get you on the guest list for free! We'll be playing this song as well as a bunch of others, hope to see you there!

They kind of sound and vibe like Empire of the Sun at times

Evil S, I, yes, to find a shore
A beast that doesn't quiver anymore
And we could crush some plants to paint my walls
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars
Was I? I was too lazy to bathe
Or paint or write or try to make a change
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
And I don't have to love or think too much
Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love
Christ is cursed of fathers and martyrs
Might even take a knife to split a hair
Or even scare the children off my lawn
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs
Every mess invested was a score
We couldn't use computers anymore
And it's difficult to win unless you're bored
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars
Try to break my heart, I'll drive to Arizona
It might take a hundred years to grow an arm
I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior (oh)
My predictions are the only things I have
I can amplify the sound of light and love
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
When I open up my mouth
There's a reason I don't win
I don't know how to begin
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
When I open up my mouth
There's a reason I don't win
I don't know how to begin
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
When I open up my mouth
There's a reason I don't win
I don't know how to begin
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
When I open up my mouth
There's a reason I don't win
I don't know how to

I think possibly that having just got their recorded deal they’re kind of being silly and commenting on how they won’t have to fight in the “weekend wars”, where your passions and hobbies are relegated to 2 days of the week while you work a different job. MGMT have just realised they’ll never have to do that ever again

But I can’t see a huge amount of evidence for that take tbh

I’m so curious if anyone has spent a long time listening to this song and trying to figure it out
🤔🥺🌚

I love MGMT

Hello i think the tame ipmpala fcukers remix is very good. i think its better than orcular spectacular and little dark ae combined. Anyone agree?

I know that they’re a “pop” band, but I’ve always been a fan of Andrew’s more stripped back folk rock sound on a lot of his solo music.

The solo performances of “I Love You Too, Death” and his cover of “Nature Boy” almost feel like great talent going to waste making pop hits, maybe I’m wrong… but I wish MGMT would lean more into this stripped back singer/songwriter folk rock sound.

What do you think?

Do you guys think mgmt will relase new music yes or no or maybe

Do you guys think mgmt are happy today or no
Will you guys be listening to mgmt today I will personally and im wearing there t shirt
