Indie-electro duo MGMT are releasing a new album in Spring of this year by the name of 'Congratulations' and though usually an album release comes coupled with preceding and successive singles, the pair have decided to do away with all of that nonsense. 

Speaking to NME, both members of the band - Andrew VanWyngarden & Ben Goldwasser - explained the reasoning behind their choice. They said:

"We'd rather people hear the whole album as an album and see what tracks jump out rather than the ones that get played on the radio – if anything gets played on the radio!. There definitely isn't a 'Time To Pretend' or a 'Kids' on the album. We've been talking about ways to make sure people hear the album as an album in order and not just figure out what are the best three tracks, download those and not listen to the rest of it."

The Dave Fridmann-produced LP (known for his work with The Flaming Lips) has yet gather a solid track-listing or release date so be sure to check back for more information once it's announced.
