I was out way too late after the xx concert last night and I’m paying for it. Don’t get me wrong, i had a blast… I even made a new friend. But DAMN… smack me and call me Sally! Who has a after party on a Monday night anyhow? I’m sitting at my desk now though I might as well be at home in bed because mentally, emotionally, and spiritually I’m definitely not here. This track off of MGMT’s upcoming album Congratulations is speaking to me at the moment.
This video creeps the hell out of me. The kid’s parents should be investigated by child protective services for mental and emotional duress. I think I’m going to have nightmares tonight… Imagine what the kid is experiencing. He looks so terrified at moments! Definitely a different direction than I would have taken a video for this song. All in all, I’ll say its interesting but that doesn’t mean I like it.
Also, Is it me or does this video seem a little bit late? I mean, releasing a video for the biggest single on their album now? It’s easily a year overdue, it seems counter intuitive to me. I would have assumed that the MGMT boys would be concentrating on a new relase by now. Guess not! Or is it marketing? They’ve been off the buzzdar for a few months now, so a new video for a popular track may have a stimulating effect on upcoming material.
