Artist Bio
MGMT is a duo from Middletown, Connecticut, formed by Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser in 2002 while they were students at Wesleyan University. They came to widespread attention after signing to Columbia Records and releasing their debut album "Oracular Spectacular" in 2007, which included hits like "Electric Feel" and "Kids." Blending psychedelic rock, indie, and synth-pop, MGMT have continued to evolve with albums such as "Congratulations," "Little Dark Age," and "Loss Of Life" (2024), occasionally dipping into more experimental or electronic territory. The group earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2009 and have collaborated with artists like Ratatat and Steve Aoki. Fans of bands like Tame Impala, Empire of the Sun, or Passion Pit would likely enjoy MGMT's genre-blurring style and melodic sensibility.
