Gawd, as a millennial that's a feeling I've always felt but didn't put words to. Like I could never understand Zoomers and the self-promo thing or why I found it so cringe. But now that they've said it I finally understand those feelings!!!!
I gotta say I was pretty skeptical entering this video but the interviewer really did a good job with the boys, she made the homework which is rare for this kind of tv hosts
Thank you miss for extracting the answers we all secretly were hoping for. And thank you Ben and Andrew for changing my life for the better every time you come back ❤
The only band I wait for new songs to have the pleasure to discover beautiful sounds and arrangements in each song. Multi-genre mosaics of contemporary music (well, mgmcm...lol)
@@TheGrilledCheeseManOC Yes!! I've forgotten to mention them. They deserve the same adjectives! The balance: King Lizzard, more musical skills! MGMT, more beautiful musical subtetlies.
There’s no doubt she’s a fan. But maybe 2008, not 2007. 2009 is honestly when they really were well known. Congratulations came out in 2010 and divided fans but the end of the decade before had them in high regard. 2018’s Little Dark Age was another classic album. Love this band.
no no, Kids was already blowing up in the underground way before Oracular Spetacular released, Kids is from 2005 and they played it live multiple times + released demo versions of it independently + had released and sold time to pretend EP before, which sold well because of Kids and Time to Pretend
I love them. They are truly amazing artists and i can’t wait to experience the rest of the album. She did leave one biiiig question out. Will there be a tour announcement following the album drop? 😮
I've been a huge fan of these two since 2006...18 years ago, which is nuts to consider. Their very first EP, which had both Time To Pretend and Kids in it, was so obviously something new and excellent the moment I listened to it back then. There's like 4 other songs that are JUST as good...Indie Rokkers alone is genius as a song. They've always been great, got *_SUPER_* famous for like 2 years...and then it was back to them remaining true to how they started off this whole music thing. I'm 41 now...and have been a huge huge fan since day 1, remained one when the entire world utterly embraced them for a glorious 2 years, and remained one ever since. Not loving everything always...but still loving everything. Oracular Spectacular is a genius album. The uber fans _love_ shouting out Congratulations, and fair enough. But for me, OS is _the_ MGMT album for good reason. It's perfect. Just...perfect. It's very weird and creative and ambitious and catchy all at once. It's like 2 musical geniuses thought it would be hilarious to make the perfect album...and actually succeeded. That is fascinating and beautiful to me. I'm very excited to dive into this new album....
Lol MGMT on mainstream media? What is happening??Been a fan since I was in high school circa 2008 and these guys always make me smile. The new album is a bop.
Kind of random to say they’re better than REM lol. I’d personally rather listen to REM but i like both bands for completely different reasons. I guess both bands are vaguely what you’d call “alternative music” but that is pretty much where the similarities end.
Mgmt are nice this album is refined and it’s very human not going for anything very catchy or single driven just straight artistry, It took them years to really come into their own in a relaxed sort of way
More optimistic?? It sounds so bleak and dispirited. In a good way of course. But compared to Little Dark Age I struggle to find elements of the album optimistic or hopeful. There's a strong sense of resignation, down to the album art and the UA-cam playlists having 'MGMT' written in a formal font with plain grey colouring among a stark black background.
they're incredible. I love MGMT. This interviewer did them justice thank you!
“A selfie was the most embarrassing thing you could do.” Man I feel that cause I’m almost 40
Hahahaha
It’s wild to think that they’re that old too, I got into there older stuff after listening to LDA and it’s all brilliant, I’m so excited for tonight

I think you’re thinking of daytime talk show hosts, but yes she did a great job. Usually ABC News is very professional when it comes to any interview.
awwwwh i miss these guys and their weird ass interviews. never change! cant wait to have the album on repeat
She tried really hard. I commend her. This is so random and awkward, but I love them.
She did good! With what she had to work with lol. Love me some MGMT
these two changed my life! mgmt forever
I think this is the first appearance Andrews forehead has ever made.
The last time we’ve seen it was in the Alien Days music video 😹
@@madiclark5032this is hilarious
I’m dead 💀
makes a rare appearence, some people even say it doesn't exist, but here we are.
😂
that "independent label" is working a lot harder than Columbia did for them getting them on ABC prime time!
Couldn't agree more. Go ask Nas how horrible Columbia is.
Amazing band. If you get a chance to see them live, go!
Andrew Is perfect and a kind man!
Thank you miss for extracting the answers we all secretly were hoping for. And thank you Ben and Andrew for changing my life for the better every time you come back ❤
The album is beyond perfect. Start to finish.
This is so random. I love them!
Growing up taking a selfie is one of the most embarrassing things you can do. Indeed.
I love these two men.
The album is amazing. Much love
I love how normal they are. Zero media training, 100% endearing
Andrew looks like a kid being questioned by police and he is unsure about talking without his parents
I really hope they announce a tour soon
If anyone reading this hasnt heard of this band, check this album out. People in the streets is my favorite

Have you listened to King Gizzard?
@@TheGrilledCheeseManOC Yes!! I've forgotten to mention them. They deserve the same adjectives! The balance: King Lizzard, more musical skills! MGMT, more beautiful musical subtetlies.
Ben looks like a CNN correspondent back from an assignment
Nathan Fielder on Canadian TV type of energy
MGMT...on ABC News? I am proud....I am so very proud 🎉
I am extremely proud. They finally made it. 🦾
I have been a fan since I was 16. I'm now 31. MGMT 4Ever 🩵
as awkward as usual, i love it
I honestly feel like they did this as a social experiment, or an anxiety exercise somehow LMAO
The first three singles are incredible
The 4 th one is awful
Which is why the album as a whole is very disappointing.
@@mojopin1997Agree, that song goes nowhere until the very end.
@@mojopin1997I’d argue it’s quite majestic, chill. Bassline’s quite good
Andrew looking like a young robert smith
My youth,just few years ago. 😢😅 Love MGMT. I'm glad they have a new album. ❤
They play their album during my Sunday school meetings.
Holding it together for under 4 minutes as Linsey Davis brings it.

@@AndreLuiz-zf6wq maybe at some NE colleges. Not in Miami. Late 2008, early 2009 honestly.
@@GoAsCloseAsYouCan yea here in brazil too, its mostly a 2009 song for me
but it was definetely goin around before
It's a hopeful and optimistic album called Loss of Life. lol
We should celebrate art and music on the news more often. not just promo stuff but just lil interviews and such.
This is so weird. Love mgmt
I love them. They are truly amazing artists and i can’t wait to experience the rest of the album. She did leave one biiiig question out. Will there be a tour announcement following the album drop? 😮
How has this just flown under the radar
I just posted this in the mgmt reddit fandom forum
Great guys, great artists
This album is so good
"I imagine youre excited about Loss Of Life"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂

Genius band. S-tier. Better at this point than many classic bands like REM
I agree they're modern day Beatles or the Kinks. These guys will go down as the greatest psychadelic rockers of the modern era forget Tame Impala
Kind of random to say they’re better than REM lol. I’d personally rather listen to REM but i like both bands for completely different reasons. I guess both bands are vaguely what you’d call “alternative music” but that is pretty much where the similarities end.
They are very talented but I think you exaggerate when you say they are better than REM. They have a long way to go to get there.
@@rabidgoonunsure as to why you feel the need to say ‘better’. I think they’re good but, vastly different bands.
@@SuperSaglow i’m not the one who said it, the OP did. I just responded.
Greatest band!!!
Love these boys
Such a creative beautiful band.
Love the album
Record is Out today, got it from Tidal in the highest sound quality.
Mgmt are nice this album is refined and it’s very human not going for anything very catchy or single driven just straight artistry,
It took them years to really come into their own in a relaxed sort of way
Like most bands just got old and lost their edge
Incredible album. The 1st couple songs are so good I’ve still yet to get to the bottom half of the album
Lol gotta love two hardcore hippies explaining themselves to an ABC journalist
This is hilarious them being on abc news
They’re doing it right
Haha great interview - she like my grandma interviewing. loved it
Like number One Thousand! Yesss❤
Just when you think ABC can't get any better!
Yes lads!
I love these two hahaha
Possibly the best interview I’ve ever seen
The Management has More Goats More Tacos :)
MGMT is always a change up from their last album 😂 CANT WAIT TO HEAR THIS ALBUM
MGMT and Vampire Weekend albums this year!?!? What is it 2010? Not complaining btw
this lady the next Nardwuar, she all knowing
they’re so awkward i love it
Mis dos papás 😍
a rare candid interview ok
0:38 "I imagine you're excited about loss of life." LOL
They very well succeeded!
STRFKR is good too
Andrew be aging like fine wine. Is he a dad? Bc it is humid now, but if he is a dad, it's full-on precipitation..
:(
idk why this comment creeps me out
Love Flash Delirium
I am 100% convinced either one or both of them are high as hell
Or just awkward. They are known for that 😂🩵😎
I mean it’s the dudes from Mgmt… on ABC… what would you expect?
They are 100% sober.
Lol I think they’re just like this. Permastoned.
What makes you think that?
Oh wow!!!
Loss of Life is a 10/10 imo
More optimistic?? It sounds so bleak and dispirited. In a good way of course. But compared to Little Dark Age I struggle to find elements of the album optimistic or hopeful.

2007 all over again (it rhymes)
Riding on your tank like you own it😅
They look like normal guys
I had no intention of ever looking at mainstream media again but I made an exception for MGMT.
Yeah feels like the Twilight Zone.
Indie Band on mainstream media, daytime interview, bright lights..sounds like a panic attack to me.
Electric feel will never be outdone by anyone not even mgmt
Damn Andrew got a forehead
god they are awkward
Love yall! 💕
no way she fucking compared nothing to declare with electric feel + its their 6th (11/11/11) and 7th if you count the ttp ep
god this was random .....
THIS IS HALARIOUS 😂😂😂😂
Andrew is slowly morphing into Tim Robbins
Lmao act like its their first interview 😂😂
Lolol I feel they still trolling
This thumbnail was funny to see
when i hear a new trackk bby them, i know im hearing what willmbe sttuck for aawhile
This is such an odd choice of interview platform for an indie band lol
It’s so funny how they began music to troll the industry and then kinda just had to keep it going.
Haha this is so bizarre - never would have expected to see these guys on ABC. So bizarre, awkward and funny
Cut to them dressed as monsters scaring a baby in a crib from the "Kids" music video.
Nice
082 Champlin Valleys
What is a "tick tock"?
They didn’t pick a good clip. The editor was not a musician
Nooooooo, those kids are about to turn 40. Nooooo😭😭
