MGMT have put together the latest instalment in the LateNightTales compilation series, out October 7.

The track selection seems an honest balance of the canonical and the obscure, with universally acclaimed efforts from The Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3, Suicide and The Durutti Column rubbing shoulders with less well-known material from the likes of London post-rock trailblazers Disco Inferno, acid folkie Dave Bixby, Swell Maps offshoot The Jacobites and criminally overlooked Factory band The Wake. The album concludes with a spoken word piece from music critic Paul Morley.

It’s customary with LateNightTales for the curator to record an exclusive cover version, and MGMT have plumped for Bauhaus’s ‘All We Ever Wanted Was Everything’.
