MGMT

One emerging group that is beginning to really make their name lately is MGMT. They are an electro-rock duo from upstate, New York. Their debut album (although they released one prior as 'The Management') "Oracular Spectacular", is a great testament to the ingenuity that modern artists are exhibiting. It was released digitally over a year ago but not onto CD until January 22, 2008. I have been listening to it on and off ever since then. In the beginning there were a few songs I really liked, but the album never really stood out. Lately, I can't get enough of it. All of the songs I was indifferent on have really grown on me, and the ones I liked to begin with have just gotten better. "Time To Pretend" is an awesomely danceable track that pokes fun at the music and pop-culture world. "Electric Feel" is by far the best track, a discoey track that perfectly features their dual vocal style. A lot of their other tracks are spacey ballads but all of them are great. MGMT gained a lot of attention over the summer performing at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Coachella. Here is a video of them performing on the David Letterman show quite a while ago. Enjoy.
