Little Dark Age

MGMT’s Little Dark Age combined vintage synthesizers, drum machines, and modern production techniques into a darker and more electronic sound than the band’s earlier releases, while still retaining the bright melodic writing and layered arrangements associated with albums like Oracular Spectacular.

These remake projects recreate Little Dark Age, She Works Out Too Much, and Me and Michael inside Ableton Live using Xfer Serum and instruments from the Arturia V Collection, including the synth basses, sequenced arpeggios, drum machine programming, layered analog textures, and modulation-heavy synth patches used throughout both tracks.

Each remake comes as two ZIP downloads: the full Ableton Live project with every track frozen, and multitrack WAV stems for every audio track with MIDI files for every MIDI part.
