Title: MGMT – Oracular Spectacular
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 2007, Pop, Neo-Psychedelia, Brooklyn, NY
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

Studio Lore: Cut with producer Dave Fridmann, who pushed maximal sessions and weird textures—an outside hand shaping how their college-project songs scaled up.
Media Narrative: The band later distanced themselves from being defined by the big hits, creating a long-running “audience vs intent” tension around the debut.
Scene Ecology: Their rise tracked the mid-2000s blog/MP3 circuit—songs spreading online first, then getting canonized by festival booking and major-label muscle.
