    MGMT's new single is pretty SHTY

    Oh boy! MGMT has a new record coming out in April!

    Here's the single! It's called "Flash Delirium"! And it sucks! (Catch a listen over at Spinner, if you're brave enough.)

    Taking the worst parts of The Flaming Lips and Of Montreal, this lobotomized track has nothing going for it. The vocals are shrill and piercing; lumbering through "Flash Delirium" only to eventually throw up on your front lawn at the track's conclusion with a Tourette's-like outburst.  There's even a breakdown two-thirds of the way through that rips off "A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger".

    And if you're waiting around for a hook of any kind (a la "Kids" or "Time to Pretend") to magically appear on this track, I'll save you the time: there isn't one.

    If this single is any indication, American Apparel will certainly run low in its supply of hipster headbands this spring.
