Mgmt / Dave Fridmann - Oracular Spectacular (CD)

40 years after the Summer of Love (and 30 years after the Summer of Hate), MGMTis celebrating the grand re-opening of the third eye of world with Oracular Spectacular, an enigmatic and prophetic collection of hallucinatory sounds and hook-riddled pop tone for the new millennium. The pair was drawn to the music of other duos and found themselves incorporating the hallucinatory power-twee of the Incredible String Band, the roaring subway minimalist electronica of Suicide, the silky pop-soul of Hall & Oats, the pulsing narcotic trance of Spaceman 3, the avant garde industrial romanticism of Royal Truxand much more into the constantly evolving sounds of MGMT.
