*†ƒ√ MGMT is pleased to announce (finally), from an undisclosed tropical paradise, the bona fide release of the O-fficial video for the authoritative song known succinctly as: "Kids." This is the first song we ever wrote, on a cold day in February way back in 2003. Yes, "Kids" is an Aquarius, but shows many traits of an Aries. The idea for the video was born about a year ago, at a mock-Italian cafe on Ninth Avenue in bustling Manhattan. We are both animated and stoked to reveal at this time that we once again worked with director Ray Tintori, someone who's known this song since it's inception. "Kids" has proven to be some kind of monster with a life of its own, both an albatross and a plate of mac and cheese with fake bacon (Annie's), and the process of creating this video was nearly as convoluted and veiny as the general style of this here letter of introduction. As Jerry Garcia once rudely remarked about the eventual and unavoidable filling in (with sand) of the historic United States Grand Canyon, "What a long strange rip it's been."
Without further ado, we give you:
"KIDS"

Il y a presque 20 ans, Dominique A réveillait le paysage sonore français en élargissant l'horizon de la chanson française avec une musique inclassable et une écriture troublante et fragile. En bon artisan, il continue de transformer en profondeur les canaux d'une chanson française parfois tumultueux et influence toute une génération de musiciens. Calme et emporté. Dépossédé et florissant. Aérien et organique. Dominique A est palpitant. Sur scène, il s'abandonne. Invité à la Ferme pour préparer le concert de sa prochaine tournée, à son tour, l'invité invite et nous fait partager ses coups de cœur. Toute la journée... Dominique A de jour... : avec des concerts de Joy, Chkrrr, Winter Family, Chapelier Fou et le concert événement de Dominique A avant-tournée... Toute la nuit... Dominique A de nuit... Et ça continue à partir de 22h30 et jusqu'à l'aube avec une Nuit Curieuse ! : Philippe Dupuy, Adrien M., Pierre Bastien, Philippe Poirier, Rodolphe Dana, Patrick Lerch... Massages, atelier de chocolat et d'œnologie, bains chauds... La convivialité made in Ferme du Buisson.
I adore both of you. Splendour in the grass which is already the most amazing festival, is now made about ten times better, simply because of your presence.
