MGMT: Congratulations

MGMT plan to release their follow-up album to their extremely successful debut Oracular Spectacular on April 13th 2010. They are streaming the entire album for free on their website for anyone to listen to. I couldn't decide if I hated it or loved it at first. Like their debut album the music is not easily accessible, but if you give it a chance, you may love it. I can now say I love this album even more than the first. If it were not for a self imposed album buying ban I would buy the vinyl version the day it comes out. There is a Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon-ish), Surf Rock, CCR, psychedelic Beatles feel to much of the album. The album's definitely influenced by 60's and 70's psychedelic music. There are no catchy "Time to Pretend" or "Kids" type songs, which may in turn make them lose some fans. However, they don't seem to be the type of band to care.

3 1/2 WEEKS TILL THE ALBUM DROPS

I am really excited about New Amerykah Part 2! It is scheduled to come out on March 30th 2010 and it looks like it is going to be good.

Here is the album's new single Window Seat (with ?uestlove on drums)

Badu channels Funkadelic with this Web-only bonus track Jump Up in the Air and Stay There. I don't really feel Lil' Wayne but the song will definitely get stuck in your head all day long.
