So we’re on an island and it’s a very dark island and you’re walking around at evening the sun is setting, and you find a crab in the ocean and you decide to make a fire and then cook it. The crab is very tasty; it’s a very rare crab. One of the smallest crabs you’ve ever seen but it’s still edible and you still decide to eat it and it’s very refreshing only… there’s no more food on the island and so you gotta keep looking for more food. Maybe you can eat a coconut but those get really boring after you just keep eating them all the time and there’s just too many coconuts and you’re just surrounded by sand and water…you know?

“A lot of our favorite songs juxtapose really happy sounding music with some kind of dark music.”

“Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that MGMT leaned heavily on the track’s psychedelic side given their track record, but even that would be an understatement, as Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden’s vision borders on scary acid trip territory here with robot voices, dissonant synth experiments, and barely distinguishable lyrics — certainly a decent homage to the era’s drug culture, at the very least. More notably, for us anyway, is that this just might offer a glimpse into the sonic direction the band will explore on their forthcoming third album.”

“Of course MGMT would chose to cover a song from Fleetwood Mac’s “Welch Years” for their contribution to upcoming tribute album Just Tell Me That You Want Me. The band, in full and perfect psychedelic form, take Bob Welch’s “Future Games” (from the under-appreciated 1971 classic album of the same name) and flip its seductive qualities on their heads, stripping the song of its summer daydreaminess and filling that void with nervous and unsettling tones and melodies once dreamt up by a David Lynch film. Maybe Blue Velvet.”

“Listen, I think Andrew and Ben are very smart, creative guys, and I think they understand the right path that MGMT should take, and from our perspective we’re happy to support that. Sometimes I think we have to sit down and talk to them about consequences — if you do this this way, this is going to happen — and we’ve had that conversation. And at the end of the day I think their approach is really refreshing, where art leads, and commerce follows.”

“We have our own little studio in Brooklyn right now so we’ll probably write and record there and maybe go back and work with Dave Fridmann again. Or maybe there will be another producer involved. But I don’t think we want to get ourselves into a situation where we’re in a studio and there’s someone strongly suggesting that we change the songs dramatically or change the sound. I think it would take someone, I don’t know who, for us to listen to. Maybe like if Brian Eno (laughs) was suggesting ideas for songs we would take it into thought. But I don’t know, I think we like doing things ourselves.”
