MGMT

MGMT is an American musical duo formed in 2002 in Middletown, Connecticut, consisting of multi-instrumentalists Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser. Known for their genre-blending sound that incorporates elements of psychedelic pop, indie rock, and electronic music, MGMT first gained widespread recognition with their debut album, "Oracular Spectacular," released in 2007. The album produced hit singles such as “Time to Pretend,” “Electric Feel,” and “Kids,” each of which became anthems of the late 2000s indie scene and helped define the era’s sound.

The duo is celebrated for their vivid, often surreal lyrical themes and experimental approach to songwriting and production, offering listeners both infectious melodies and avant-garde sensibilities. Subsequent albums, including "Congratulations," "MGMT," and "Little Dark Age," have seen MGMT continually evolve, exploring darker and more complex sonic landscapes while maintaining their knack for catchy, off-kilter pop. Acclaimed for their dynamic live performances and distinctive visual style, MGMT has remained a vital and influential force in contemporary music, building a dedicated fan base and earning critical acclaim for their innovative artistry and refusal to be pigeonholed.
