About this playlist
Talk about self-fulfilling prophecies: Not long after college students Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden wrote 2007's "Time to Pretend" as a send-up of rock 'n' roll stardom, their sly wit and irresistible riffs turned them into bona fide rock stars. But MGMT have never been big on following the expectations of others. Masters of pop concision, they're equally at home with songs like "Metanoia", a 14-minute slice of '70s rock opera, and "Brian Eno", a garage punk ode to the patron saint of art rock. That's precisely their brilliance: their playful spirit is as strong as their songwriting.
