Congratulations专辑介绍

◎入围葛莱美奖「最佳新人」和「最佳流行重唱/团体」的迷幻电子乐团第二张专辑
◎邀请英国Space Rock/Neo-Psychedelia团队Spacemen 3的灵魂支柱Peter Kember(Yo La Tengo、Stereolab)全权掌舵
◎Q+Spin+Uncut全部四星+Mojo满分推崇，持续融入Psychedelic Folk、Space-Rock、Disco-Funk、Synth-Pop声效，剪贴欢愉且变化多端之风格
2010年一口气入围葛莱美「最佳新人」和「最佳流行重唱和团体」、2009年抱走NME的「最佳新团」及「最佳单曲Time To Pretend」肯定，同时滚石杂志盛誉「2008年值得你注意的艺人」、英国BBC之「2008年十大票选之声」的超级新秀MGMT，融入Psychedelic Folk、Space-Rock、Disco-Funk、Synth-Pop声效，剪贴极为欢愉且变化多端之风格，融合混搭新奇时髦和复古因子，给你全然不同的惊喜体验！
来自亚美利坚的MGMT，由Ben Goldwasser和Andrew VanWyngarden两位才气十足的音乐玩咖组成，当时正值大学新鲜人时期，就因彼此对噪音摇滚和电子乐迷恋，常交流心得而拉近彼此距离，利用求学过程努力创作，吸取经典乐团养分并重新洗牌。毕业之後MGMT 於独立厂牌发行首张EP《Time To Pretend》，引起媒体关注，同时展开巡演行程增加知名度。2006年顺利签入Sony/Columbia齐下问市《Oracular Spectacular》大碟，登记US热门潜力榜冠军+英国金榜第8名，多白金销售轻松入袋。重新发行的〈Time To Pretend〉，一连搭上电影「决胜21点」、「魔境梦游」、电视影集「乱爱高校生」、「花边教主」主题配曲，成为新世代乐迷疯狂追逐的焦点！
享受3年来自四面八方的掌声後，交出诚意新碟《Congratulations》，邀请英国Space Rock/Neo-Psychedelia团队Spacemen 3的灵魂支柱Peter Kember(Yo La Tengo、Stereolab)全权掌舵。最为奇情怪诞的开场〈It's Working〉，附着冲浪摇滚般的欢愉节奏，套入古钢琴的运用，倒灌合成乐和弦乐的辅佐，提供最自在的赏乐聆听触感；分辨不出真或假音的吟唱出空灵般磁场，飘渺无边际的〈Someone's Missing〉，游移在现实与虚幻之间，令人神醉梦迷；分别向他们偶像致敬的〈Brian Eno〉和〈Song For Dan Treacy〉，展现起伏音频的精准掌控力，绝对喂饱你一双挑剔的双耳；超过12分钟的〈Siberian Breaks〉，交互清爽Acoustic的民谣风情敲起序幕，随後刻划Space的轮廓，接着弦乐淡淡幽雅伴衬，层次鲜明的包裹耐人寻味之动听音符；诡谲惊悚的〈Lady Dada's Nightmare〉，散射噩梦中的惊声怪叫片段，却揉合反差极大的唯美纯音乐，颇值得再三玩味；曲末的同名曲〈Congratulations〉，淡淡飘散东方色彩，舒服引领到最後一秒，同步献上卓越编曲及演奏搭配杰出功力的真本事！(博客来)

One of the most anticipated CD releases of 2010 is set to drop in Spring. MGMT follow up their all conquering debut ‘Oracular Spectacular’ with ‘Congratulations’ which they are currently recording with Pete Kember from the seminal 80’s early 90’s band Spacemen 3 (who also featured Jason Pierce who went on to form Spiritualized). This partnership sounds like a match made in heaven and should show a progression, and possibly more experimental approach, from the debut CD.
The band have been previewing 4 new tracks in their recent live sets – ‘Congratulations’, ‘It’s Working’, ‘Flash Delirium’, and ‘Song For Dan Treacy’. Describing the album title, the band explained "It was more of a sarcastic congratulations. It just feels right. It's funnier now. We had no idea what was going to happen with the first album in terms of success or radio play. You know, it's been a crazy year so now it's even more annoying that the second albums called congratulations."
