MGMT 'desperate' for McCartney collab

MGMT have claimed that Paul McCartney has broken his promise of a collaboration after failing to contact them.

The band said that McCartney had previously expressed an interest in working with them, but has yet to organise studio time.

"It's been tough. We did play a show with him last summer at NY Park, which was really cool," frontman Andrew Wells VanWyngarden told Spinner.

"But nothing has really come of the collaboration part of it. We still would really like to do that. We like Paul McCartney's songwriting abilities and musical sensibilities. His bass playing is unreal - he is definitely our favourite bass player."

Last year, McCartney told Zoe Griffin: "I like MGMT. I'd like to work on some more dancey stuff with MGMT. But it has to happen organically. We need to talk about it. I can't call them.

"If they called me, I'd say, 'How did you get my number?'. But I'd do it."
