<\/a><\/p>\n I could very easily get obsessed with new psychedelic electric popsters, MGMT<\/span> (pronounced “Management”). Doing my weekly cruise of iTunes, I ran across their cleverly named album ‘Oracular Spectacular’<\/em> and based on the comments alone by other music fans, I thought it was worth checking out.<\/p>\n What can I say about the album? Well, it’s simply delicious. It’s like everything I don’t like about 70’s rock music, turned good. It bakes my brownie. It lights my cigarette in a non-smoking world. It makes me want to become a barefoot hippie-synth touting bohemian. ‘Kids’<\/em> is like an electronic orgasm. ‘Electric Feel’<\/em> could have easily been the next Scissor Sisters<\/span> hit (watch out Jake Spears), ‘Weekend Wars’<\/em> sounds somewhat reminiscent of Smashing Pumpkins<\/span> a wee bit, and single ‘Time To Pretend’<\/em> is just gorgeous.<\/p>\n It’s as clear as day why the boys are on the hot tip in 2008. They are blowing up in the UK now and have definitely peaked my curiosity. I don’t think their MySpace<\/a> or official website<\/a> really gives you a clear feeling of how brilliant they truly are, so have a look if you must, but take my word for it and quickly go download their masterpiece album now.<\/p>\n Here is the YouTubage to ‘Time To Pretend’<\/em>…but you may also want to view this in high quality on this link<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n
