MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (2008 )
Cover pic.
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 with hints of
Joy Division and Sixties nostalgia, both
acid-tinged and bluesy with wild reverbs, huge
keyboards and slippery lyrics.
