I like MGMT & Empire of the Sun both... but I'd never think to compare the two. To me, MGMT has much more adolescent lyrics and a bratty sound than EOTS. I think of EOTS appealing to slightly older, more contemplative audiences.

All that being said, am I waiting with baited breath to see what EOTS & Lindsey come up with? Hardly. EOTS is one of my favorite modern bands, but all these Mac collaborations bore me ceaselessly. Especially since they tend to give birth to horrible, boring pop songs.
If you mean The FM-vibe of Little Lies and Familyman, I hear that too. But in general, I don't hear it. But I agree on what they come up with in general, besides the gorgeous Copy of A by Nine Inch Nails.
