Do MGMT’s Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden ever enjoy themselves? Last time we saw the Brooklyn electro-pop duo, they were suffering through a mildly creepy dinner party. Now they’re back with the sad, slow clip for “Congratulations”, the title track from their sophomore album. Watch Andrew, Ben and their disintegrating prehistoric Dark Crystal-style bird-camel cross the desert. At this point, we think they’re trying to bum us out on purpose. When you start featuring sad Muppets, it’s just intentional. See below.

Look, we’re falling to pieces too as we consider that summer’s slowly winding down. But c’mon guys! Cheer up! Can’t someone play “Kids”? Oh, thanks.
