Review

Rolling Stone (p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "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'..."
Uncut (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "MGMT offer a series of rock pastiches so joyously over-egged that they become something new and celebratory. A sugary feast for the senses."
Alternative Press (p.115) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "ORACULAR is thick with countless layers of electronics, live instrumentation and vocal harmonies....It's brilliant."
Harp (magazine) (p.104) - "Filled with electro-processed recorders, mad Mellotrons, walls of fuzz and finely fingered acoustic guitars to go with MGMT's mystic mountain melodies..."

Title Note

On its 2008 major label debut, ORACULAR SPECTACULAR, the Brooklyn-based duo MGMT (aka Management) offers up a willfully quirky set that incorporates elements of both electro-pop and freak-folk. Consisting of singer/multi-instrumentalists Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden, the playful act veers from the decadent, fuzzed-out "Time to Pretend" to the jangly, glam-tinged "Weekend Wars" to the funky, Ween-ish "Electric Feel," with renowned producer Dave Fridmann keeping everything from going too far off course, particularly on the catchy, synth-driven "Kids." The result is a restless and inventive first album that's guaranteed to garner hipster adoration, and, like fellow Big Apple-ites LCD Soundsystem, may also carry a wider appeal.

Great debut effort, but not all songs are listener-friendly. Some great, catchy hits like "Kids" and "Electric Feel" that will leave you humming all day long, but for the most part, this album takes a few listens to really get into.
