Wherein MGMT grow up and become a real band, with real songs. Imagine that, the pompous witherings of an out of touch old fool who couldn’t tell a contemporary electro classic from a jingle on Nick Jr. Quite enjoyed MGMT part 1 actually but ‘Alien Days’ is a brave new move into frontiers as yet unexplored and with Dave Fridmann (Mercury Rev producer, hooray) again on board their upcoming self-titled debut could be the moment they take over. ‘Alien Days’ is quite odd, unnervingly psychedelic and a zig-zagging experimental ride but for all that it is easy on the ear from the very first listen. We need a record from 2013 that will give this year a reason to be remembered and ‘MGMT’ stands a good chance of doing it. Here’s hoping. KD

Alien Days is really rad (also their lyric video was so trippy), I’m really excited to hear the record again on the 17th.
