MGMT may be almost finished with work on their long-awaited fourth album, providing an update to their progress on Twitter.

Possibly just sang last singing for new album?! Title track

Yep, we realise the date this was posted, but given the recentish chatter about mixing being completed on various tracks, it's either pure coincidence or a subtle long con with tiny payoff.

At the end of 2015, core members Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser claimed that 2016 would be the year that MGMT "re-dominates your mind hole", though they did clarify (in September) that they meant "2017". Given the amount of live dates they've got lined up, it does look a lot like they'll finally be fulfilling their promise to dominate our mind holes once more.

Any new release will follow 2013's self-titled LP.
