While I haven’t completely processed MGMT’s brand-new track Flash Delirium, the band has built-up more than enough street-cred with Oracular Spectacular to warrant a blog post for any new music.  Flash Delirium was released yesterday, and is the first taste the public gets of MGMT’s highly anticipated album Congratulations (set for release April 13th).  In an interview [...]
