The band returned in October with comeback single ‘Little Dark Age’ from their new album of the same name. They last released a record in 2013 in the form of their self-titled third album.
The New Yorker has premiered the hypnotic and surreal clip for ‘When You Die’, starring Alex Karpovsky – Ray from Girls – as a magician, and report that MGMT’s new album will be released in February.

In late 2016, the band promised fans that they would return in 2017 before clarifying that they intended to release new music “ASAP”.
MGMT had been expected to return in 2016, after declaring on Christmas Day 2015 that they would “re-dominate your mind hole” the following year. However, no new material surfaced that year and the band later clarified: “Meant to say MGMT re-dominates your mind hole in 2017”.
Back in May 2016, Mac DeMarco responded to rumours that he would be collaborating with MGMT in the near future.
DeMarco said: “[VanWyngarden] lives in the same neighbourhood as me, so we’re homies. I don’t know, maybe I should leave it as a mystery. I’m not recording on any MGMT albums, just my own record, but who knows?”
