Album Description
Available in:
Late Night Tales: MGMT is a mix album compiled by psychedelic rock band MGMT's members Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser and released on October 3, 2011. The album is the 25th in the Late Night Tales series.
"The band's Late Night Tales selection of post-punk, cult indie and counter-culture figureheads reflects the band's multifaceted sound, and draws comparisons with contemporary dreampop/chillwave/shoegaze/folk scenes on both sides of the Atlantic."
Their compilation features tracks from artists such as The Velvet Underground, Felt, Suicide, Spacemen 3, and Disco Inferno. It also features an exclusive MGMT's cover of the Bauhaus song "All We Ever Wanted Was Everything" from their 1982 album The Sky's Gone Out.
On October 3, 2011, an animated music video was released for MGMT's cover "All We Ever Wanted Was Everything," directed by Ned Wenlock for Hoverlion.
On October 24, 2011 the light used in the MGMT Late Night Tales album artwork was released for consumer purchase.
User Album Review
Late Night Tales allows Benjamin Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden to indulge their tastes, and offers perhaps the truest possible representation of the sounds inside the pair’s heads, in case anyone was still thinking Congratulations was a deliberate fan-shedding exercise. So, while they’re currently in the studio coming up with some choruses for album three (the record company have, apparently, "had words" after Congratulations remained nailed to the shelves), they’ve offered up this mixtape type release to give fans a fuller picture of the MGMT experience.
With choices from the some-of-these-people-may-be-on-something area of pop history, there’s the likes of The Chills, Television Personalities and Disco Inferno nestling alongside The Velvet Underground’s Ocean and a cut from Felt’s full-on Cocteau Twins phase, Red Indians. Martin Rev and Suicide crop up with the menace-haemorrhaging Cheree and slightly more upbeat Sparks, while Julian Cope’s Laughing Boy, from his own disowning pop era masterpiece Fried, is a welcome selection. You listen to it and can’t quite imagine that, literally two years beforehand, Duran Duran were claiming The Teardrop Explodes were their only competition. Charlie Feathers’ Mound of Clay sees the rockabilly giant in a mellower frame of mind, while the gorgeously meditative Lord Can You Hear Me? may represent the first time the Late Night Tales series has had to clear a Spacemen 3 track, but it fills the criteria perfectly.
As tradition dictates with Late Night Tales, the curators thrown in an exclusive track from themselves, and here MGMT opt for a cover of Bauhaus’ All We Ever Wanted Was Everything, originally from the dark gents’ The Sky’s Gone Out opus. It’s fair to say that, while it’s actually very lovely, it’s proof that MGMT probably don’t have ‘become pop stars’ noted on their career to-do list. To close there is a short story read by Paul Morley, without one mention of Joy Division.
Exuding the air of a mixtape you might have made for a friend away at university back in 1989, to say thanks for some Pale Saints tickets, while it may be incongruous among the earlier releases and perhaps the reputation that Late Night Tales has built itself on, this is actually a very brilliant package.
