MGMT takes a new approach on “Congratulations”

MGMT gained fame through singles such as dance anthem “Kids” and vivacious “Electric Feel.” Songs like these are no where to be found on Congratulations. This album is a whole new chapter for MGMT, as was foreshadowed by tracks like “Love Always Remains” and “Of Moons, Birds & Monsters.”
