Update: Apparently “Flash Delirium” will not be a track on their forthcoming album.

MGMT’s Ben Goldwasser gave Spinner the scoop behind “Flash Delirium” with the following explanation: “When we first wrote that song, we were laughing so hard [...]Andrew [VanWyngarden] just reminded me of that, that we thought it was the funniest thing we’d ever heard. And then we got used to it, it started to sound more normal. It’s not a single, but we thought it was a good way to entice people to listen to the whole record. I’m sure there are plenty of people who think it’s completely weird and not what they were expecting [...] I’m sorry [...] We’re trying to come to grips with that world. It’s not our world. We don’t feel comfortable in it. But we didn’t want to make that typical second album either, about fame. So we’re definitely observing it, as opposed to revelling in it.”
