About MGMT
MGMT is a neo psychedelia/alternative rock group which formed in Middletown, Connecticut, United States in 2002. The band consists of Andrew VanWyngarden (vocals, guitar, keyboards, drums), Ben Goldwasser (keyboards, vocals, guitar), Matthew Asti (bass), James Richardson (guitar, vocals) and Will Berman (drums). Originally consisting only of VanWyngarden and Goldwasser, the other members were added to the band in 2008.
LMFM Says:
Oracular Spectacular opens with "Time To Pretend" ("fanciful but with an undercurrent of impending doom") and closes with "Future Reflections" ("premonitions of a post-apocalyptic future where colonies of young people live on the beach and lead savage yet refined primitive lifestyles and go surfing"). In between lie the refractions of the "current chaotic vibrations of the world" on a album which distills the essence of the past, promises and portends the future, and offers an absorbing transformative experience between the molecules in the pulsations of the present. Not to mention an authentic "4th Dimensional Transition."
"Kids are going to be inheriting their parents MP3 collections," Ben predicts. "And, in that aesthetic, corrupted MP3 files will be like the way people glorify scratched-up records now. In 20 years, people will listen to these 30th generation MP3s and say, 'I love that sound!'"
MGMT invites you to open your mind to the multi-dimensional vibrating Technicolor sounds of Oracular Spectacular.
