For many people, Little Dark Age is a welcome surprise. MGMT returns on this fourth album as an unadulterated pop group. The American electro duo made their debut in 2007 with a that also sold well. A dream scenario. After that, Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser made two and albums. As a result, MGMT is no longer a very popular group more than 10 years after their debut. That can change with
… Little Dark Age. The catchy melodies, the simple rhythms and the accessible structure are back. Moreover, the duo delved a little deeper into synthpop. Regularly MGMT doesn't sound like a 21st century band, but like a group straight out of the 80s. Sometimes you wonder if that's not a bit too much of a good thing. At other times you are happy that you can easily sing along with MGMT again. In any case, they remain a strange bunch. (JE)more
