The clip features the band as a Segway-riding, leather-clad gang and was released online today. Grohl approached the band about directing the video, and said, "I had an idea.

Despite their low key presence over the past year, MGMT has revealed that they will be releasing their self-titled, third album in June as a follow up to 2012's Congratulations.  The duo of Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser recorded with producer Dave Fridmann. Fridmann called the production experience "really strange," in reference to the numerous improv jams that lasted for hours. Goldwasser explained to Rolling Stone, "We’ll get involved in what we’re doing and the next thing we know, we’ve been improvising for five hours." Said jams were the precursors to songs like "Alien Days," "Mystery Disease," and a cover of Faine Jade's "Introspection". Goldwasser added, "We’re not trying to make music that everyone understands the first time they hear it."

Clapton will be touring throughout arenas across the U.S. this spring.
