Electronic Music Review

Comments on MGMT

Music is such an instinctual thing. Have you ever cried listening to a song? has a song ever made you almost physically sick due to a memory it invoked? Perhaps it had the opposite effect, and it was nothing short of a blissful euphoria. I am here to discuss a new group that I found to have a pretty intense impression on me. I am not saying that this group is the best or even going to top the charts (although it would be great for them if they did).

MGMT have songs that I love right now called " Kids" and "Electric Feel". This is really my new favorite group of the moment. This will undoubtedly change, but I am just happy when I hear them because they are just so unique. I love the innovation of the sounds they cook up.

"Kids" gives you a feeling of being young and free like you are running around outside on a very warm Summer day and it makes you want to get up and do a little booty shakin dance. Its cute and innocent but really plays up the lighthearted nature of being a kid. I spontaneously laugh sometimes at myself as I hear this song.

"Electric Feel" has a retro feeling to it on top of it already being sheer genius. I heard this song and seriously felt like I was weird for liking it. I heard it again and didn't care if I was weird for liking it I knew I just loved it. I think you will feel the same way. I assure you are not weird for liking this song, its just so quirky you can't help but enjoy it.

My latest obsession has been with Indie Rock. Now those of you who do not listen to Indie Rock must know it either really sucks or its really great! With Indie rock (just like indie movies or indie anything) you are going to have the best of the worst or the best of the best.They master the "indie rock electronica" genre. It is pure Genius!

If there was not such a thing there certainly is now and it has been brought into the mainstream. If you haven't hear these songs yet you probably will. I predict these to have maximum staying power. Watch out for these guys MGMT, you will be blown away. This is like nothing I have ever heard before and it is sweet in my ears. I hope that we can look forward to their innovative music well into the future. I predict international superstardom...remember this article because I'm just going to smile and say "see I told you so".
