MGMT Tour Dates after the jump.

DEV B's "BABY" VIDEO

Our favorite smelly poet, folk troubadour, and all-around weird fucker Devendra Banhart released a new video today for his song "Baby", one of the catchier zips from his recent What Will We Be album.  Keeping with the recent indie hipster trend, Devendra invited some famous friends along for the video, including Fabrizio Moretti from The Strokes, Andrew from MGMT, and GZA the Genius.  The video, as you may have expected, finds Banhart and his cohorts riding a tampon-looking spaceship into a pair of galactic breasts.  Then Where The Wild Things Are  breaks up, and everyone dances happily except GZA, who sits on a thrown and uses up his Anytime Minutes.  The overall effect is delicious.  Enjoy the video below, and scope Dev B's new Bulimic Frank Zappa look.

MGMT's "Flash Delirium"

Will the rabbit hole ever end?  I doubt it, as MGMT plunge further and further into weirdness while most of us sit at last year's giant party table waiting for another round of the same tea.  But maybe that's just me.  As sophomore album Congratulations nears its' release date on April 13th, the single "Flash Delirium" has been leaked.  There is a lot going on here, with some Bjork-worthy construct and tempo changes.  The jumps between styles and genre are aplenty that's for sure.  I'm just wondering if all the threads spin together into a dress worth wearing.  You be the judge.

Listen to "Flash Delirium" or download at the band's new website.

MGMT Keep it Weird

Brooklyn duo MGMT will release their sophomore trip Congratulations on April 13 via Columbia.  Artist Anthony Ausgang has designed the album cover and, unsurprisingly, its a bit out there.  The band are only scheduled for a few festival dates right now, but expect a full tour soon.
