MGMT album leak

Posted on April 2, 2010 by Kris Nelson

This is just how awesome MGMT is:

Hey everybody, the album leaked, and we wanted you to be able to hear it from us. We wanted to offer it as a free download but that didn’t make sense to anyone but us

— MGMT

LISTEN / DOWNLOAD. For totally free.

Even though it’s out there for free, they didn’t just slap this album together, so I urge you to support/reward them by purchasing their album physically or digitally, but I understand that their “new” (witty, experimental, effects/instrument-heavy — just like the incredible unreleased tracks on Oracular Spectacular) stuff is a wee bit hard to swallow for those of you expecting another round of ‘Kids’ and subscribe to the notion that musicians never ever evolve.

Hey, if Sony corporate let them evolve, so can you. It might even help you evolve. *wink*
