The instrumental you are hearing is a track called “Forest Elf” which was written and recorded during the Congratulations sessions. The track was then reversed so that you hear the song backwards with Sonic Boom’s voice superimposed on top reading the text (liner notes) that you find on the back of...
MGMT, 4 letters, 5 minds, 6th sense
Second Sight? Rock and Roll is 50 years old, but we are still speaking in tongues
What would Aristotle make of Wop Bop A Loo Bop?
A Zen mantra for our Bam Boo times?
"Expect the unexpected" I heard, as any fools knows, usually impossible
9 months, the pregnant portion of a year
Spent in their company, hasn't led me to deceive I know MGMT any better than anyone else
No tomes from me or type-tapping critics will reveal that
A 5 part puzzle beyond Rubik proportions for you to Twist & Shout to
Never mix stripes and spots we're told, ha
It's actually a beautiful clash
Hell, here comes the Paisley & Polka-dot too
What are you going to do about it?
Love it, of course!
CONGRATULATIONS, their second long player is something precious
A Gift. To Lovers. To Others. For Sisters. For Brothers. To live to. To love to. To look at. To listen through
Nine songs. Some Short, some long
A shy-eyed journey through the dichotomy of their lives through their souls
Sunday Bacon for the Monday Generation
IT'S WORKING
Love? Or Confusion? Reality? Contusion? Subterranea or Sub-fusion. The Quest begins
SONG FOR DAN TREACY
A Man. A Mystery? A Saint? A Sod? Were we all made for this life? Some give, some receive. But Dan Treacy smiles
FLASH DELIRIUM
The Natives go all Dance-hall Stomp as something strange in the water forces a Flash time Strobo-cop emanation of the will Delusion Extrusion
SIBERIAN BREAKS
A Pop Surf Opera, after the storm the loss of Ego
Breakers on the Beach. Hanging Ten with the Hodads. Distraction
Then Sandy Smiles as the Sun Squints its way. A new day. Cleansed. Ready. Surf's up! Piss or pass the Pot
SOMEONE'S MISSING
But Who? And Why? Just a thought? A feeling? Or a moment of doubt lying in wait?
To refilling the gateway. The door. Consciousness. A lines
I FOUND A WHISTLE
Hope. Reassurance. The bogey-man Triumph of the Plastic surf totem. The motion of Notions. Spells & potions
BRIAN ENO
A smile sent out. A wink and & chuckle. The Mystery of time
The Air Traffic controller of sound and space and subterfuge
LADY DADA'S NIGHTMARE
The Mind falters. Questioning. Looking for answers
Lock-loop images stray into fluorescing cotton candy crimes. Impervious
Then, the Release. A Primal Scream for the How Generation
More DaDa than GaGa. More Drinking than Thinking. Less Arty than Party. Time takes a rain-check
CONGRATULATIONS
The Half-arsed Hugs of routine celebrations. Realisations. Random Aging
A World in tatters? Glitter that matters? The hollow victory. And then Sleep
