'Oracular Spectacular’ is the sound of a band taking off and leaving everyone else in their vapour trail. Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, for they are MGMT, have described their sound as ‘Future 70s’. There is an ambition to the music, as if everything out there is there for the taking.
Inspired by duos, the MGMT have absorbed the sounds of the likes of Chrome, Suicide, Spacemen 3 and Hall And Oates on their journey to where they are today. Oracular Spectacular was produced by Dave Fridmann (Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips).
MGMT are the antidote, the saviours, bringing their accessible, universal sound to bear on a world in need of a kick. There’s huge swathes of Technicolour as they absorb the limitless possibilities out there.
"VanWyngarden and Goldwasser spike their pop songs with plenty of grit: 'Kids' is a noisy New Order-style synth jam, the acoustic psych-rocker 'Weekend Wars' cribs from the Rolling Stones, and 'The Handshake' is a funked-up avant-rock composition that doesn't have traditional choruses or verses." - Rolling Stone
"For all its musical philandering, unbridled excess and shrouds of irony, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a record with more musical depth and warmth all year than this one" - NME
