The magnetic pull of pocket screens has become an overpowering force in contemporary society. Few artists duel with this modern phenomenon as incisively as the neo-psychedelic band MGMT in their song ‘TSLAMP’ – an acronym for ‘Time Spent Looking At My Phone.’ The track, blending ennui and critique in a synthesizer-rich composition, becomes more than just a catchy tune; it is a manifest reflection of our screen-addicted zeitgeist.
