The new MGMT album is arriving this Friday, but before we get to dive right into Little Dark Age, the duo have shared the latest cut “Me & Michael” along with its music video.
The visual was directed by Joey Frank and Randy Lee Maitland, and it is bizarre in a quite pleasing way crappy montages, low budget sets, abnormal characters, and just plain weird graphics and effects, all of which play their part to supports the video’s story of song plagiarism. It’s like a public access tv special, as if it was directed by Eric Andre.
MGMT’s forthcoming album Little Dark Age is due out this Friday, February 9th. Visit whoismgmt.com for more info.
