Ignoring Indie Backfires: MGMT

I've seen MGMT's name splashed on a lot of the blogs I follow, but I've been ignoring them... until now. I'm going to a Noah & the Whale show in two weeks and I noticed that MGMT (pronounced "Management") have a sold out show at the same venue. So I checked them out on YouTube, picked up their album, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. These guys, who formed while at Wesleyan, have toured with Of Montreal, possibly why I didn't take a serious listen. Yes, I like Of Montreal sometimes, but albums upon albums are too much. I think they're a bit easier to digest than Of Montreal. Nice and dance-y. Anyways, check out "Time to Pretend" and "Kids."
