If you thought Yeasayer's video for 'Madder Red' would be the last video with a weird-looking latex character of some kind then you'd be wrong. You would have been fairly silly for thinking this, but not even we expected another one to pop up so soon. In some ways the one in MGMT's video is even more disturbing, perhaps because it's more 'familiar'. In a way.
The video was unveiled earlier today and features a trek across the desert, somewhere in the world. When will it all end? Congratulations is out now.
They also have an upcoming UK headline tour. Dates for that below:
September: 16 - Dublin, Olympia 20 - Glasgow, Barrowlands 23 - Birmingham, O2 Academy 24 - Bournemouth, O2 Academy 26 - Manchester, Apollo 29 - London, Brixton O2 Academy 30 - London, Brixton O2 Academy
