MGMT return with their new single, “Mother Nature”. It marks a highly anticipated comeback that has been three years in the making. This vibrant and dreamy indie track serves as the lead from their upcoming fifth album, “Loss of Life,” set to emerge six years after their acclaimed “Little Dark Age.”

The song opens with a mesmerizing verse that paints a vivid picture of suburban life and the desire for recognition. The lyrics showcase MGMT’s signature lyrical style, blending introspection and surreal storytelling. Also, the chorus soars with a sense of hope, urging the listener to “unwrap that tourniquet ’round the sun” and embrace change, even though there’s hesitation.

“Mother Nature” takes listeners on a journey down “billionaire’s row”. Moreover, it reflects on life’s fleeting moments and the need to discard the unnecessary. The track’s dreamlike quality is enhanced by its evocative instrumental arrangement. Also, Andrew VanWyngarden’s vocals guide us through this unique adventure.

Theme

The song’s post-chorus and bridge add depth to the narrative, emphasizing the theme of transformation and embracing the unknown. It’s a reminder that change can be difficult but is often necessary. In the chorus, MGMT alludes to the “covenant of the heart,” hinting at the challenges and rewards of emotional connections. The song concludes with a message of understanding and the need for a friend to help navigate life’s complexities.

The artists themselves have shed light on the song’s meaning, explaining that “Mother Nature” encapsulates an archetypical MGMT mythology of one hero encouraging another on a journey. The music video, directed by Jordan Fish, complements this theme by evoking a sense of connection with nature and loved ones.
