MGMT have new album, tour with Yeasayer

Management MGMT physically release their acclaimed debut album Oracular Spectacular tomorrow.

The debut album from MGMT — a pair of hotshot twentysomethings based in Brooklyn — sounds like a college-dorm experiment gone horribly right. So many other electro-pop duos have tried mixing such volatile elements as glam rock, disco, and new wave, and they’ve failed miserably. Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, however, succeed because they treat this record as if it’s their only shot at glory. Opener “Time to Pretend” is both an overblown manifesto and living will wrapped up in one tidy package.

MGMT’s super secret release party is on Wednesday. The Brookyln natives are also currently on an extremely hyped tour with Yeasayer. (Watch DC show clip below) They’ll be stopping by SXSW too.
