MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (2008 )

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.
