This unique group from Brooklyn semi-recently released their first full length album Oracular Spectacular and I have to say, I am in love with it! I’ve listened through it about thirty times now and I’m still not sick of it. I’m starting to see their name everywhere which isn’t a surprise to me at all.

“Time to Pretend” is another take on a cliche topic like sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll, but executed under a new light. With their electronic-psychedelic beats, they will certainly keep your ears fully dilated to absorb all of what MGMT wants you to hear. Every song has its own unique sound but at the same time, the entire album joins together perfectly for childish romps in the mud and deep ponders of life.

There aren’t a lot of ways to explain MGMT’s funky sound without wanting to run to your synthesizer (assuming you have one, which you do), but I suppose if you were to throw a keyboard, a couple tabs of acid, some guy’s afro, and maybe a house cat into a blender, I’m almost certain the resulting noise would sound something similar to MGMT, and that’s not an insult. Even though they’re signed under a huge label and eager to sell out, they’ve managed to hang onto their distinct, underground style.
