Air Breathes New Life Into MGMT’s “It’s Working”

MGMT are offering a remix bundle of their latest single “It’s Working”, and truth be told, the remixed versions are better than the original. French electro-pop duo Air contributed a remix of the Congratulations track, and we finally feel like the ecstasy-inspired song got the trippy beat it deserves. Listen below.

There’s also a second “It’s Working” remix by New Wave group Violens, who played a handful of tour stops with MGMT in April. Both mixes are available on iTunes.

Ben Goldwasser, Andrew VanWyngarden and the rest of the Brooklyn-based outfit recently headed over to Glastonbury Festival, and appeared more than happy to perform their hit “Kids”—guess they’ve had a change of heart since playing  Coachella.
