After taking a short break from recording, Psychedelic Pop band MGMT is back.

Kesha? On Imageyenation? Isn’t she shitty mainstream Pop music? Yeah, sorta. But spaceships, tentacles, rainbows, godlessness, the gloirifcation of “sin” & being fucked up, allusions to being made of stardust, and a denial of heaven? That’s got our decidedly Thelemic, vaguely Luciferian stamp all over it! “Hymn” is from Kesha’s[…]
