In addition to January's news of fresh music in the works, it also was noted that founding members, Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, recorded the album in 2012 without the live band in an attempt to break from the mold of their past work. MGMT’s last effort was 2010’s Congratulations, while this October will mark six years since their debut album, Oracular Spectacular, struck a chord with audiences thanks to hit singles like “Kids” and “Electric Feel.”
