MGMT (pronounced management) are two hip dudes from Brooklyn who borrow freely from 30 years of pop music and then copy/paste those influences into new songs that are extremely hard to classify. But hey, it's catchy as fuck and goes extremely well with the sun and a cold beer. Can you really ask for more?
Opener and buzzworthy single "Time To Pretend" sounds like something The Flaming Lips could've come up with. And whaddyaknow, the producer of "Oracular Spectacular" is none other than Dave Fridmann who in the past has already worked with yup, The Flaming Lips. Sixties psychedelic pop, trendy kitsch a la Air, a little bit of funk, a feelgood atmosphere that brings back The Polyphonic Spree and a lot of things that go bleep in the night... it's all here and it's all interwoven in a great way. I'm ready for the summer!
Score: 8 out of 10
