MGMT turn back 'Time'

The super-cool disco hippies in MGMT are taking a dip back into their vaults with the re-mastered rerelease this week of their sophomore EP, 2005's "Time to Pretend," on Cantora Records.

For folks such have myself who have all but worn out their copies of the band's latest LP, 2007's triumphant "Oracular Spectacular," the "Time to Pretend" rerelease should make the wait for the band's next full-length effort a little easier.

Co-produced by David Perlick Molinari of French Horn Rebellion, the six-track "Time to Pretend" EP contains primal early takes on a pair of the band's most popular numbers, the title track and "Kids" -- both of which later appeared on "Oracular Spectacular."

In celebration of this release, Cantora is giving fans a free listen to one of the cuts exclusively available on the EP, "Destrokk," here.

MGMT, which first formed in 2002 during Ben Goldwasser and Andrew Van Wyngarden's freshman year as students at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT, will be one of the many acts taking the stage in a few weeks as part of the All Points West Festival in Jersey City.
