Not satisfied to be America's indie-pop darlings, MGMT has been pushing boundaries and alienating some fans in the process with their second and third albums — but no one can say they're not keeping it interesting! Their third, self-titled album came out September 17, and on it is this totally wacky track, "Alien Days," that lies somewhere, influence-wise, between Queen and Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles. The spooky-ass video was just released today, for Halloween, and features lead singer Andrew VanWyngarden singing while tied up naked on a gyroscope. Also, there's a kind of incredible alien dance sequence at the 2:15 mark.

Did we mention there are also goats? And aliens eating blue caviar. It's very Matthew Barney, this.

VanWyngarden says the song is about the feeling that "a parasitic alien is in your head, controlling things.”

[WOW]
