It was released in April 2010, exclusively for ‘Record Store Day’ on the ‘Columbia Records’ label (cat. no. 88697683441) on marble-effect coloured vinyl, in a Limited Edition of 2000 copies. It has an Etched design on the B-side, and comes in a stickered, clear plastic sleeve.
MGMT are and American pop/rock band formed in 2002 by multi-instrumentalists Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser. Their debut album, 'Oracular Spectacular' was released on the 'Columbia Records' label in 2007. They have gone on to release three further albums (to date); 'Congratulations' (2010), 'MGMT' (2013) and 'Little Dark Age' (2018). MGMT have played many festivals around the world over the years, and have also opened for/toured with acts such as The Courteeners, Beck, Radiohead and even Paul McCartney.
'Siberian Breaks' was the second single to be taken from the second MGMT album, 'Congratulations', issued exclusively for 'Record Store Day' on Limited Edition Etched 12” vinyl. At just over twelve minutes long, it is the longest song on the album, and the second longest song by the band. The single charted at #28 on the UK singles chart. VanWyngarden has said of the song, “It's kind of like eight different songs strung together into one, and the general theme is about surfing in the Arctic Circle by Russia”.
“… MGMT's most ambitious undertaking yet. Just over 12 minutes long, 'Siberian Breaks' starts off in breezy MOR fashion, gentle harmonies giving it a 70s Todd Rundgren-vibe. Soon, though, they're ramping up the reverb, 'Siberian Breaks' taking its first left turn after 2 minutes, veering into a quietly seething stomp and then turning into a different song entirely 4 minutes in, resembling the Twin Peaks soundtrack if Jason Pierce got his valium-stained mitts on it. Next, airy, atmospheric keyboards lead it out of the hazy wilderness before the chorus (well, sort of) comes booming in at around 8 minutes. But hold on – we ain't finished yet, or rather 'Siberian Breaks' isn't – just when you think the whole thing is about to peter out 10 minutes in (IDIOT!), in comes bleeping, starry-eyed synths, twinkling like the intro to Radiohead's 'Let Down' and lending 'Siberian Breaks' a suitably cosmic finale” – The Fly
Brand New and Unplayed.
