MGMT - Congratulations

After much excitement at the prospect of hearing MGMT’s new album, I was a tad disappointed after listening to this psychedelic pop album. The band has taken a risk with the new album, abandoning the pop-rock sound that first spiralled them into success.

Fortune - Staring at the Ice Melt

This album can only be described as severely funky and its hip, summery songs make you think of ankle-warmer clad roller bladers skating merrily at a roller disco.

Motion City Soundtrack - My Dinosaur Life

Motion City Soundtrack are a band that I have heard of but never really heard any songs by them except for one song Everything is Alright, which was a staple of Kerrang TV and the Cathouse’s “unders” nights in my youth.
