| | 40 years after the Summer of Love (and 30 years after the Summer of Hate), MGMT is celebrating the grand re-opening of the third eye of world with Oracular Spectacular, an enigmatic and prophetic collection of hallucinatory sounds and hook-riddled pop tone for the new millennium.
The pair was drawn to the music of other duos and found themselves incorporating the hallucinatory power-twee of the Incredible String Band, the roaring subway minimalist electronica of Suicide, the silky pop-soul of Hall & Oats, the pulsing narcotic trance of Spaceman 3, the avant garde industrial romanticism of Royal Trux and much more into the constantly evolving sounds of MGMT.
"A work brimming with epic melodies and hooks, vocals bursting through like cosmic sunbeams, and it oozes with primordial soundscapes that flow forward from the beginning of time." American Songwriter
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info | | On its 2008 major label debut, ORACULAR SPECTACULAR, the Brooklyn-based duo MGMT (aka Management) offers up a willfully quirky set that incorporates elements of both electro-pop and freak-folk. Consisting of singer/multi-instrumentalists Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden, the playful act veers from the decadent, fuzzed-out "Time to Pretend" to the jangly, glam-tinged "Weekend Wars" to the funky, Ween-ish "Electric Feel," with renowned producer Dave Fridmann keeping everything from going too far off course, particularly on the catchy, synth-driven "Kids." The result is a restless and inventive first album that's guaranteed to garner hipster adoration, and, like fellow Big Apple-ites LCD Soundsystem, may also carry a wider appeal. |
