A Muso's Top Ten - MGMT

Anyone who's listened to our album is not going to pigeonhole us easily, stylistically, Ben Goldwasser of MGMT warned us recently. This might be an accurate enough statement, but it reeks of a challenge if ever we've heard one. To set us off on the right track, the electro-acoustic-bombast-funk duo sent us away with a list of ten tunes that helped them refine their palette.
