MGMT: Flash Delirium.

MGMT without a doubt gave us 2008's summer soundtrack.
Most skinny jean clad, eyeliner wearing youths spent many a night on the dance floor, snake bite in hand, swaying to psychedelic floor fillers such as Electric Feel and of course, the timeless Kids. It then comes with no surprise that they're back, just in time for the summer of 2010, with a barrage of welcoming fans awaiting them.

Flash Delirium is MGMT's latest offering. It's with a certain degree of regret that it's not of the same calibre as Kids - certainly no catchy hooks. And I doubt "Chiddy Bang" will attempt a remix of this one. But that's a good thing, right? Oozing Bowie like vocals, the track surprises you more with each listen, it's even perhaps a tad theatrical.

This may not be one for the dance floors just yet, however, it's definitely one to look out for. Put your snake bites down, swap your skinny jeans for a kaftan and opt for a more chilled approach;if you catch my drift. A track with potential and perhaps a little more to it than originally thought, this one's a winner.
