MGMT Channels Mid-90s Sega Game For New Album!!

mgmtcover452jb.jpg

The indie rock band MGMT has just released the cover of their upcoming sophomore album, Congratulations, and it's pretty…interesting? Is that the word?

Maybe they were on a burn ride with Mush Mush when they all came up with the Sonic the Hedgehog/Felix the Cat aesthetic TOGETHER!!

Regardless, we're looking forward to the April 13th release!!

Hopefully the artwork does not reflect the quality of their music!

What do U think?? Do U like their album cover?

      Re: the.real.lc – And more importantly…Who gives a rat's ass what your album art looks like, when you're actually talented.

      The live broadcast of their set at Splendour in the Grass sounded fucking amazing

      I can't be the only one that has said "Wow that sounds like Sonic music" about some song. I guess MGMT is just saying fuck it and doing it intentionally for this.

      I'm not going to lie, I've never heard of MGMT, but what's wrong with Sonic The Hedgehog? that's like the greatest game ever.

      Everything, except cars, was better in the 90's!
      Remember when you had to have talent to be famous?

      the artwork sucks! reminds me of needlepoint in the 80's.

      PFFFT as if you should be the creative authority on music. MGMT is awesome. How is that artist Sliimy doing anyways? Oh right I don't believe he was 'huge' like you predicted.
