I’m not even sure if this qualifies as a song? Maybe just an unripened mess of ‘zany’ percussion noises, ‘edgy’ nihilist quips, and, well, that’s about it really. MGMT fluked themselves onto the world stage with some incredibly of-the-moment production carrying their undercooked songwriting chops, then projected a shame which translated to disdain for their fanbase. Your Life Is A Lie clocks in at around two minutes, each bar barely distinguishable from the last. A concise rejection of Congratulations’ at-times sprawling indulgences? Is a constant rejection of your own past really a feasible way to make pop music?
