The successor to 2008’s Oracular Spectacular and 2010’s Congratulations , MGMT sees the band continuing to push themselves to expand the boundaries of modern pop music.

This is the first band in a while that truly manage to produce perfect pop and remain effortlessly cool. After A/B the living shit out of them (with headphones), I can say that I like the 88697195121 version better than the MOV version. While it may not be to the commercialisation standard of Oracular Spectacular, this is every bit as eclectic and sophisticated as that album. And "The Handshake" measures the weight of Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser's newfound musical success with its costliness: being beholden to a major record label, whom they mock relentlessly in this track.

The inner sleeve has glossy artwork (lots of concentric circles on one side, and lyrics printed on the other side). The warm style of this electronic music, paired with the warm sound of vinyl as a medium, leaves you with an album that almost literally wraps a heavy blanket around you and hands you a mug of tea. Themes hinting at the apocalypse, drug consumption, the predatory nature of the music industry, young adulthood, childhood, loss, life, and stardom receive a fresh and clever coat of psychedelic paint in Oracular.

The second album of 2019 from the awesome FOALS, following from Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1 which was released in March. Catchy tracks that combine late 70s/early 80s neo-psychedelic music with modern pop and dance tracks make for a consistent set of tracks, with great meaningful lyrics (something that seems to be lacking elsewhere in today's music), great instrument playing (with solos and extended instrumental sections reminiscent of early Pink Floyd - Of Moons, Birds and Monsters is a stand out track on this front) and a few popular tracks to make it still appeal to the masses. Oracular Spectacular is the first major label studio album by MGMT and ultimately enjoyed both critical approval and commercial success, with the album selling over 500,000 copies in the U. In my opinion, Oracular Spectacular is one of the best albums of 2008, the melodies are catchy, beats are great, it's just awesome synth-pop. It's now one of my all-time favorite albums and strove considerably to cement MGMT as one of my most beloved music groups; I rotate it regularly through my car's CD player during daily commutes.It gave the world evergreen hits such as "Kids", "Electric Feel" and "Time to Pretend" which have inspired, and continue to inspire new generations of artists and music fans alike to this day - those three songs combined have been streamed over 2 billion times on audio streaming platforms since released. Foals take a fresh, thrilling new direction on with their upcoming album 'Life Is Yours', which will be released on June 17th via Warner Records. Oracular Spectacular captures the zeal and reckless abandon of youth in every track, that unbridled exploratory energy accentuating moments of deep wisdom. MGMT est un album de questionnement, de doute, et de voyages intérieurs (c'est peut-être pour ça que le groupe a repris la chanson "Introspection"). Overall, the MGMT - Oracular Spectacular LP (RSD Essentials pink vinyl) is a highly sought-after and collectible release for fans of the band and vinyl enthusiasts alike.

It's weird enough for the artsy indie fans and accessible enough for any patient listener to appreciate and enjoy, given time. Includes a printed inner sleeve containing band photo and lyrics with artwork and credits on flipside. In fact, maybe in a few years we'll see another release of the album, but only with all the studio channels available so you could do your own mix of the record?

And when there is so much schlock out there, it's important to have albums like this, where you can play them and they offer something different. The album features some of MGMT's most popular and well-known songs, such as "Electric Feel" and "Kids. Titled 11- 11-11 in honor of that date, the music will finally be released on all streaming platforms on 11- 11-22, the 11th anniversary of the hour-long, one-off concerts. Always taking an unexpected creative turn at every new record, but always maintaining their cultural and commercial relevance over the subsequent 15 years, MGMT later released three further studio albums: " Congratulations " (2010), "MGMT" (2013) and "Little Dark Age" (2018). even if some of the sounds and vocals, like on "Electric Feel," take considerable cues from the likes of the Bee Gees and The Doors.

You could do a cover on a ukelele of "Plenty Of Girls In The Sea" and perform it at parties on the shore. The tunes sound classic and new all at once, paying homage to Bowie, the Kinks, and the Stones, while updating traditional progressions with flashes of Royal Trux, Ween, and LCD Soundsystem. Produced by MGMT and Sonic Boom, the album was recorded throughout 2009 in Upstate New York, Malibu and Brooklyn and features the band's core duo (Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser) performing with Matt Asti, Will Berman and James Richardson, their live band.The Youth" both warns of and champions the then-young adult Millennial generation with its myriad changes -- changes the older generations, true to form, viewed (often correctly) as inherently destructive.

Forty years after the Summer of Love (and 30 years after the Summer of Hate), MGMT is celebrating the grand re-opening of the third eye of the world with Oracular Spectacular, an enigmatic and prophetic collection of hallucinatory sounds and hook-riddled Pop tones for the new millennium. It's a record that embodies a whole world of vulnerability, confusion and unsteadiness without losing shape. Guggenheim Museum in New York to create a wholly unique live music experience in conjunction with the Maurizio Cattelan retrospective All, which opened that autumn.
