MGMT’s are about to drop their highly anticipated album, Little Dark Age, in a matter of days, but before that, they’re showing off one last preview of their upcoming fourth album: "Me & Michael".
The narrative-based music video directed by Joey Frank and Randy Lee Maitland tells the story of MGMT being moved to steal a song written by Filipino band Truefaith, a theft leading to a rise of unprecedented success followed by an accusation of plagiarism and a crashing fall. When the band puts their heads together and decide to ask for forgiveness, they contact Truefaith, who are actually an established rock band from the Philippines and who recorded a version and video called "Ako at si Michael" for this little MGMT stunt.
Watch the new video below, and don't miss the release of MGMT's upcoming album this Friday.
