Within the last week, not just one, two, singles (“Flash Delirium” and the title track “Congratulations”) have dropped from MGMT’s new endeavor Congratulations. Their new mellow vibe is being met with applause and critics alike.
“Congratulations” features an underlying acoustic guitar with a relentless beat that doesn’t overpower the track like the band’s usual hits. The mellow sound seems like kickback as opposed to “Electric Feel”‘s party mojo.
“Flash Delirium” channels less production and more hooks with no extremely catchy instrumentation. The Beach Boys-esque track features distinct harmony and somewhat nonsense lyrics.
However, personally, the tracks can’t stand alone, as the band said in an earlier interview. So, before the mobs break out, we all have to realize all good bands have to evolve at one point or another and that there is more on the way.
