As if 2008 wasn’t a big enough year for MGMT, 2009 has gotten even bigger.

Most know MGMT for the psychedelic pop chords found in songs such as “Kids.” Last week, The Flaming Lips confirmed that MGMT will be among the guests appearing on their next album, Embryonic. This comes after the announcement about MGMT opening two of Sir Paul McCartney’s shows at Boston’s Fenway Park in August. The Beatles legend told U.K. blogger Zoe Griffin earlier this month he likes MGMT and would like to work on “some more dancey stuff” with the band.

To top it off, MGMT recently dropped off a new music video for “Kids” that we’ve been enjoying. Click below to watch Joanna Newsom star as the worst mom ever who flees from monsters, goblins and more with her little tot, all while the band sports silver metallic spandex.

Think of this as a prelude to more extravagant things to come in the bands upcoming release, Congratulations, which is set to come out sometime in early 2010.
