MGMT's Congratulations was released on April 13, 2010. The band, including Matthew Asti, James Richardson and Will Berman from the live band, spent the summer of 2009 in Malibu recording the album with Pete Kember aka Sonic Boom, ex-Spacemen 3 and Spectrum, serving as producer/guru, and long-time friend, Billy Bennett as engineer. MGMT debuted three new songs titled "Congratulations", "It's Working", and "Song for Dan Treacy" at recent shows.
MGMT have suggested that they may not release any singles from the album. The album cover art for Congratulations was created for MGMT by Anthony Ausgang and the overall design of the packaging is by Josh Cheuse of Sony Entertainment. On Tuesday March 9, 2010 MGMT released the song "Flash Delirium" for free download on their official website. On Saturday, March 20, the band allowed users to stream their new album from their website.
The band stated that they weren't trying to make an album about fame and success but realized it was inevitable as that's all they've been doing for over a year. The album is expected to be much more commercially successful than the bands first album, having reached number 1 on the itunes top 10 albums in the UK as well as USA.
MGMT started their latest tour on April 12, 2010, in San Francisco, California, at the Fillmore
theater. They performed on April 23, 2010 at Brown University's Spring Weekend, on April 27, 2010 at Yale University's Spring Fling, on April 30, 2010 at the University of New Hampshire's Spring Climax, and on May 1, 2010 at Fordham University's Spring Weekend. They performed on Saturday Night Live on April 24 and are scheduled to perform on Late Show With David Letterman on May 11 for the promotion of their new album.
