MGMT

Electric Feel

Put on MGMT’s ‘Electric Feel’ and close your eyes: you could be listening to the background music to a love scene in Miami Vice. And that’s a compliment. It is so resolutely 1980s, with its slap-bass, synth drums and soft rock keyboards, that it could be attending a march in support of striking miners. Yet it possesses a sleek, streamlined gloss and undercurrent of sauciness that is impossible to deny. The kind of song to which New York art dealers have threesomes.

Great new tune. Just as good as 'Time to Pretend'. Got a bit of deja vu though, i'm sure i've heard bits of the song in other songs...anyone agree or am i just going mad?

Awesome song! One of the best tracks on a great album. The Justice remix on iTunes is really good too!

Agree with the comments and the review, why only 8 though! Think I might move to New York and become an art dealer...
