Andrew VanWyngarden and Dustin Yellin at the AnOther issue 21 launch dinner & party with Krug Champagne in NY 9/13/2011i had no idea that was Sting tbhLOLLate Night Tales is a compilation series that is to soon release their twenty sixth compilation; one of the tracks being from the popular band, MGMT. With MGMT being a part of this compilation series, it is generating anticipation and excitement for the release of this album on October 3, 2011. From Brooklyn, New York, Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser formed MGMT in the year of 2002. In 2008, Oracular Spectacular debuted consisting of singles such as “Time to Pretend” and “Kids”, followed by "Congratulations", where some seem to believe that their music advanced, taking us to today with their soon to be released Late Night Tales.Late Night Tales is a variety selection containing both indie and soft rock. This album is almost like having someone whispering into your ear while cradling you to sleep. It is soft and soothing, and should not be listened to in the car while making a long trip because this album will make you utterly relaxed. Now, we all know that MGMT reigns over emotional melodies regarding heartache and longing, and they continue to do so throughout their cover song on this album as well.This compilation album has approximately twenty different artists on it each being nominated and considered as one of MGMT's favorite late night tracks. Of course, MGMT’s cover of “All We Ever Wanted Was Everything” can be found on this compilation alongside of some other familiar names such as The Velvet Underground, Suicide, and Luminaries. Some unfamiliar names can also be found on this album, for example, Disco Inferno and Jacobites, each producing a similar sound as MGMT.MGMT’s cover of “All We Ever Wanted Was Everything” originally by Bauhaus is nothing out of the ordinary. It is a good cover, but it does not stand out. It fits perfectly with this album, because each song sounds a bit alike with a soft, mellow, and a touch of gothic feel to it. This track easily shows MGMT’s darker side with lyrics like “All we ever wanted was everything. All we ever got was cold.”One of the reoccurring themes throughout the compilation is 80’s indie, with artists such as Felt, Julian Cope, and Durutti Column each making an appearance, along with rock icons Charlie Feathers and Martin Rev.If you are interested in soft rock and indie music then this is the perfect album for you. Until the album’s release on October 3, 2011. And, if this style of music is not your cup of tea, if you have a hard time sleeping at night then go support this album by pre-ordering it so you will have a lullaby that will sing you to sleep at night. So mark your calendars for October 3rd, because that day is right around the corner.Tracklisting:1. Disco Inferno - Can't See Through It2. The Great Society - Love You Girl3. Suicide - Cheree4.
