MGMT just released their psychedelic self titled album today (9/17), and along with the album’s official release, they’ve announced a North American tour in support of it. The new album’s weird sounds aren’t really built for the arenas that “Kids,” “Time to Pretend” and “Electric Feel” are, but lo and behold, the NYC date on this tour is on December 13 at Barclays Center. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, September 27 at 11 AM. All dates (many venues TBA) are listed below.

The band also just made a video for album track “Cool song No. 2” that stars Michael K. Williams aka Omar from The Wire (and Chalky White of Boardwalk Empire). Check it out, along with the list of dates, below…
