Set to be released digitally on November 11 (a physical edition will follow in 2023, with pre-order available here), ‘11.11.11’ will comprise 11 tracks and feature the music that MGMT specially created for the Guggenheim’s Maurizio Cattelan retrospective, All.
“We’re creating a musical experience that works for the building and for the construction and presentation of the Cattelan exhibit,” MGMT said at the time of the performance.
“It’s an art exhibit done in a completely original way, so it deserves music which is completely original.”
“The 24-track soundboard recording of the ‘11.11.11’ performance has been recently mixed by MGMT and Dave Fridmann,” a description about the live album adds.
“Showcasing the band in a loose, hypnotic, and psychedelic form… ‘11.11.11’ is sure to be a treat for all dedicated MGMT listeners.”

“There are irons in the fire and we have been busy,” he told fans on Reddit. “I had forgotten my login info, the MGMT drought ends this year.”
