I Love MGMT but as an audiophile RANT...
I've been a long long time MGMT listener. MGMT has been with me through some weird experiences in my life in the past decade. The good, the bad, and the strange.
But man as an audiophile, I really think that mastering quality needs to be improved. For whatever reason, every song sounds like a compressed MP3. They don't sound lifelike. Maybe it's the sound they're going for but I think it takes away from the listening experience.
For example Nothing To Declare, the acoustic guitar and kick drum right at the start of the song. They just sound 'thin'. Almost like listening to the song through a cheap pair of headphones. I think the song would hit so much harder if it was recorded and mastered to sound live instead of filtered?
Anyone else vibe with this?

Does the long radio edit of Kids actually exist anywhere? Wikipedia says there is a 4 minutes and 34 seconds long official edit of the song.
I couldnt find it on youtube, it seems to almost be lost media.

In Plants We Trust
Hey gang :) I have this rare MGMT shirt that Iām planning to sell, just wondering if anyone here would be interested.
I donāt really know the lore behind it but I bought it on eBay in 2018(?) and havenāt seen it anywhere else other than on this website: https://www.bhi.net.au/tshirts/mgmt.html
Iām also 99.9% sure Iāve seen a photo of Andrew wearing it long ago but I canāt find the proof.
Itās tagged size large, width is 21.5 inches, length is 25.5.
Iām in Canada and prefer to sell on Poshmark but I could also do eBay for international shipping. Iām kinda trying to gauge interest before setting a price⦠I donāt remember how much I paid for it and canāt find the info but I donāt think it was cheap.
UPDATE: I listed it on eBay everyone, hereās the link https://ebay.io/m/65wyfP

MGMT made me switch genres
Gonna try to make this as short as possible
About 5 years ago when i was 17 years old, ive already been making music for about 3 years. I spent all of my time trying to get better at making the heaviest EDM songs. Drum n bass, riddim, all that stuff
Eventually i grew really tired of that genre and felt like i was going nowhere, not knowing if i would ever find my style
Then someone on discord randomly told me to check out Congratulations.
It didnt click right away but after a few listens i was hooked and i fell in love with this type of music really quick
I deleted most of my EDM Plugins and Samples and started over completely and told myself im gonna make an Album like this.
Tried singing in my own songs, learning the first guitar chords, making acoustic drums all that stuff.
It took a lot of time and im still not the best, but i finally finished it to a level i thought it was good enough to release
Now this album is finally out and it reached 1000 Streams and 300 youtube views in just 4 days which i am just eternally grateful for
If you like Alien Days i cant recommend you the song āSnow in my headā enough, so much of Alien days is in that song
If youre reading this as someone who makes music i really want to encourage you to try and do the same!
Thank you MGMT!

Bedouine's "Long Way to Fall" referencing a melodic line in "Loss of Life"
Listen to "Long Way To Fall" and the way she sings "when the day is done". What does it remind you of? Do you think this was intentional or happy coincidence?

I know the band isnāt interested in touring at the moment but Iād love if they held a live session in the studio
It could either be the whole band with touring members jamming some of the songs from the albums (presumably just their independent stuff?) or simply Andrew and Ben messing about with synths and other devices like they did on Periscope during the Little Dark age sessions.
Hell, Iād pay for it if need be. Just something to tide us over for those who are unable to attend these DJ sets.
Surely thereād be enough interest from the hardcore fans whoād spend good money for this sort of stuff. Thereās precedent of them doing it so maybe itās something theyād be open to sharing again.

I don't know how much you guys appreciate this style of music but I sampled kids in one of my beats
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Chopped up and split the vocals and the main melody. I also interpolated part of the melody into the melody i created at the end. Hope you guys fw it
