MGMT
The world was still getting to know MGMT a year ago, which is rather hard to believe in the wake of their subsequent success. Back then, the Brooklyn outfit had just released its debut album, Oracular Spectacular, and the first single, “Time To Pretend,” was percolating down from Williamsburg into the eardrums of America. And America could get behind a band like MGMT: psychedelic but accessible, with a sound that stoners and frat brothers could enjoy together over a late summer barbeque. A second single, “Kids,” proved just as enduring—and so did MGMT.
