MGMT have premiered their new track 'Alien Days', which is the first new material from the band since 2010. Listen to the track below.
The song was released on cassette for Record Store Day but for fans who weren't lucky enough to grab a copy, the band have made it available to stream over Soundcloud.
'Alien Days' is the first single from the band's upcoming third studio album, which is thought to be released in June this year.
While this is the first chance to hear a recorded version of the song, MGMT have been playing the song in their live shows.
Speaking to Rolling Stone recently, vocalist Andrew VanWyngarden said the song is about "that feeling when a parasitic alien is in your head, controlling things."
The release also featured a b-side track titled 'Message 7 From Hearty White', which was a stream-of-consciousness story told by one of the MGMT members.
The band are heading out on a North American tour on 26 April, starting with a date at Penn State.
