MGMT haven’t toured collectively since 2010. With a new album in store for June release on Columbia Records, the group announced 18 North American Spring tour dates – set to kick off on April 26th at Penn State. Among a number of shows in Canada, they manage to make stops at stateside festivals like Kanrocksas, Firefly, and Bunbury – along with dates in the northern latitudes of our country.
MGMT – Congratulations
Instead of producing the third album with a full ensemble, Ben & Andrew paired with producer Dave Fridmann to incorporate a bevy of synthesizers and developed sound in their attempt to deviate from the commonly understood.
“We’re not trying to make music that everyone understands the first time they hear it.” – Ben Goldwasser in an interview with Rolling Stone
