they kinda sucked at lowlands 2008.... but they said in an interview that they work very isolated, so where can you get inspiration to make such a good song like this??

The first minute of this song reminds me so incrediably much of another song by a different band but I for the life of me think what it is! Especially the vocals. Eels? Arrgh.

Pukkelpop 2008 has anonymously agreed that MGMT climbed on stage with an arrogance that blows aways the charm of this song. Good music is nothings without a nice attitude, and that for hippies!
