I grew about as tired of hearing Electric Feel by MGMT as I did hearing the Drums by The Tings Tings last summer. The difference: The Ting Tings didn't just release a redeeming fantastic album, that will most definitely disappoint the casual listener, and club goer. No, this album is not as easy to swallow as those brainless pop hits that clog the club and radio sound waves. Can we put that shit to rest already?
MGMT's new album, Congratulations, is demonstrative of the bands non one trick ponyness, and is a fantastic surprise to you groaners at the meer mention of bands like MGMT. I was wonderfully surprised at the single, Flash Delirium which exudes a quirky, nod to 60's mod culture. Here, a link for your convienence : http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvSMp7T2Kes ..
The single doesn't stray too far from the path they have beaten, but still offers something different to those of you, like me, who easily grow wary of the summer fluff so amply offered.
Stay tuned, I'm going to see them in Red Rocks June 11th. I'm very excited to experience this album live....and..maybe hear the dreaded hits from last summer after a few of those delicious vodka lemonades that are so abundant on the side of that mountain in Denver.
