15. Nothing Changes

Explicit

Part way through the year, I was very ill for several days, and I binged Battlestar Gallactica while stuck in bed. I first heard this song around the same time, and the two are inexorbally tied together.

I imagine Starbuck and Apollo singing this song throughout the series.

MGMT gives the album’s many ideas room to breathe. The songs are unhurried and luxuriate in their layers of production and ambience. “Nothing Changes” starts off as a Ziggy Stardust-type slow-burn until it sinks into a refrain that sounds like slowed-and-reverbed elevator music.
