08/mgmt/little dark age
according to my year end round up with spotify, i spent a lot of time this year with of montreal and kanye west. four of my five most listened to songs were either from one of the two. rounding out the top five was this one. they have had me since hello with their slightly off, idiosyncratic take on popular music, and "little dark age" continues on in this tradition like "time to pretend" or "electric feel" before it. it's gloomy, yet approachable; dark, with just enough light peering through the cracks; and, of course, gloriously whimsical in places when it wants to be. a weird goth-pop like dance excursion, "little dark age" is, in other words, mgmt at their best: marching to the beats of their own drums while making sure you're caught up in a fever you can sweat out.
