They say trends make a cyclical comeback every 20 years. We saw it recently in the revival of Y2K style<\/a> that emerged with Gen-Zers returning to parties post-pandemic wearing claw clips, mini skirts and baby tees. Now, as we barrel into the mid-2020s, it\u2019s about time for an aesthetic that proliferated from 2006 to 2012 to return.<\/p>\n The signs are everywhere: Skinny jeans are back, record players and disposable cameras are in, and MGMT is coming out with a new album.<\/p>\n Oh yeah, indie sleaze is back.<\/p>\n MGMT, an American rock band formed by singers Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser in 2002, is perhaps best known for its indie sleaze anthems like \u201cKids\u201d and \u201cTime to Pretend.\u201d<\/a> The duo\u2019s carefree lyrics and electrifying synth instrumentals fueled an era that was all about fun and freedom \u2014 and questionable fashion choices like fedoras and fur coats.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE<\/p>\n Music Review: Ex-Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley is back with another great solo album<\/a><\/p>\n Music Review: Jennifer Lopez returns to her pop music throne with new album, \u2018This Is Me… Now\u2019<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Music Review: Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson\u2019s \u2018Venus\u2019 imparts wise and caring lessons of love<\/a><\/p>\n Their newest work, \u201cLoss of Life\u201d isn\u2019t quite a return reminiscent of those times, but MGMT has gone through a few different phases since then, such as gothic fourth album \u201cLittle Dark Age.\u201d<\/a> Their fifth studio album certainly has a nostalgic feel to it, but there\u2019s also something new: a tenderness and hopefulness that listeners might not expect from a title like \u201cLoss of Life\u201d or a band with a history of unseriousness.<\/p>\n
