I jusT boUght, from a certaiN onlinE digital mp3 Stockist and retailer (for a very reasonable £6.99), the MGMT debut album 'Oracular Spectacular'. It was their 2nd single 'Electric Feel' that's currently getting airplay that caught my attention. I checked out other stuff of theirs and realised i was familiar with their first single too 'Time to Pretend', and went ahead with the purchase. It's brilliant.
There's lots of comparison been made between this and The Flaming Lips, but that doesn't quite do it. Anyone want to take a journey with me? Ok - it's more like this: imagine Turin Brakes grew up listening to loads of Bowie and then decided to make cynical yet nostalgic, dreamy, melodic electro. How's that for genre defiance!
If that sounds like it might be your cup o' cake, check it out.
