Psychedelic pop-rock band MGMT was formed in 2004 while its members were in college. During the short time that MGMT has been together, it has taken over the indie-pop scene.
Upon the release of its EP, Time to Pretend (2005), the band toured with Of Montreal, gaining recognition for its unique style, as many of the group's songs exude nostalgia for childhood amid a backdrop of futuristic synth-pop.
MGMT was catapulted to mainstream popularity with their single "Electric Feel" from the album Oracular Spectacular (2007), a song that was featured in many TV shows the year of its release, including Gossip Girl and CSI: NY. Another single, "Time to Pretend," has been featured in Skins, 21, Eagle Eye, and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, among many other films and TV shows.
Following Oracular Spectacular, MGMT played music festivals all over the world before releasing Congratulations in 2010. This album incorporates more guitar sounds and deeper psychedelic rhythms than the previous album, and includes the hits "Flash Delirium" and "Siberian Breaks." The summer 2013 release of the band's self-titled album includes the single "Alien Days."
MGMT has collaborated with other major artists such as Kid Cudi, Beck, and Devendra Banhart, and has opened for even bigger names like Paul McCartney and Radiohead.
