Hier mal die Review vom Rolling Stone:
MGMT
Oracular SpectacularRS: ***1/2
AUR: ****1/2This dazzling electro-psych band is two arty Brooklyn dudes who derive keyboard lines from the jumpy gait of a praying mantis and dress up in matching capes. Their buzz single „Time to Pretend“ — a booming, tongue-in-bong sendup of the rock biz — sounds like a Flaming Lips outtake, with good reason: Lips producer Dave Fridmann helmed MGMT’s debut disc, fluffing their glitchy daydream rock into an intergalactic odyssey. There are hints of Joy Division and Sixties nostalgia both acid-tinged and bluesy, but Oracular Spectacular’s playfulness and remarkable density are best displayed on „Electric Feel,“ a surprising bit of funk featuring the original come-on „Ooh, girl, shock me like an electric eel.“

Ich werde mir MGMT am 02. Mai in Köln anschauen, um mich davon zu überzeugen, dass sie live mindestens genauso gut sind wie auf Platte.
