funny how Little Dark Age became a massive hit 2 years after this video
-
MGMT could easily put themselves back on the map if they wanted to.
-
"Little Dark Age" is, in my opinion, a far more polished, artistically matured version of MGMT.
-
'Little Dark Age' is killing it right now on History YouTube.
-
My favorite mgmt moment is when kid cudi was trippin on acid and started dancing on stage while they were performing electric feel
-
My personal favorite is “when you die”
-
So what you’re saying is they felt like they were fated to pretend
-
I saw MGMT in 2013, I crowd surfed during Electric Feel, was probably one of the best moments of my life.
-
MGMT and Gorillaz are probably some of the best bands out there because of their experimental sounds and willingness to move away from their roots in recent years
-
“Improvising over the Ghostbusters theme for an hour” 😂
-
It's ironic that Little Dark Age has become so popular now then.
-
Lol “My Little Dark Age” is a big hit on Tik Tok right now
-
I saw them at a festival and when they were playing their new stuff they said, "sorry you don't like our new music" 💀
-
their new album. I s F U C K I N G G R E A T
-
In 2018 MGMT released this: "Little Dark Age", their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Little Dark Age". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importantly of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Tiktok: hold my beer, about to bring the boys back......
-
Little Dark Age was the perfect album for MGMT. Finding that their sound is like a gothic/dark tame impala.
-
Actually I discovered them by Little Dark Age and it’s just perfect.
-
"they improvised over the Ghostbusters theme for hours" has me dying
