This week I talk to Australian singer/songwriter Jack
River aka Holly Rankin about MGMT's debut
album 'Oracular Spectacular' (2007). We talk about the ubiquitous
and inescapable singles on this era defining record and their
matching video clips that envision a utopian world, the album's
political message and the impact psychedelic drugs have had on
music.
Holly tells us about her career arc, what it was like to meet
MGMT's Andrew Van Wyngarden and how fans can find meaning in a song
that goes beyond the original intent of the artist.
