Atlanta Audiences Experience The Dark Ages with MGMT

MGMT, a band whose music was once a staple for every teenage indie rebellion movie, has since moved forward into their own “Little Dark Age”. The band released their fourth album just last month, and will be touring the US until late June. A departure from their old themes, “Little Dark Age” tackles harder issues, such as loneliness, resentment, and navigating the digital age. The album also removes itself from the upbeat pop sounds from past albums, and introduces heavy amounts of sonic friction that strike a chord with the listener. The offbeat symphs and dissonant notes create a disturbing but somehow enchanting listening experience.
