11•11•11

11•11•11 is a fascinating detour that captures MGMT at their most uninhibited and experimental.

Recorded live at the Guggenheim Museum in 2011, this is not the neon-drenched synth-pop of their early hits, but rather a suite of music designed to interact with space and physical art.

The sound is defined by the unique acoustics of the museum's rotunda: notes hang in the air with a natural, boxy decay that feels both intimate and massive.

It is a record of textures, ranging from the somber, minor-key explorations that recall A Moon Shaped Pool-era Radiohead to playful, almost childlike exotica that feels like a haunted carnival.
