MGMT (Self-Titled)

MGMT’s third album is subtly difficult to put one’s finger on, possibly because one is suddenly unaware that such fingers exist. A showtune collapses into a hallucinatory experience during opener ‘Alien Days’, before a half-hour exploration of synthetic psychedelia leads into the wonderfully ethereal closer ‘An Orphan of Fortune’, whose uplifting tones manage to imbue the entire album which something which feels overwhelmingly like meaning.
