MGMT Biography

MGMT is celebrating the grand re-opening of the third eye of the world with Oracular Spectacular the duo's much-anticipated first full-length album an enigmatic and prophetic collection of hallucinatory sounds and hook-riddled pop tones for the new millennium. MGMT is: Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser two psychic pilgrims whose paths first intersected in the green pastures of Wesleyan University in Middletown Connecticut circa 2002. We weren't trying to start a band Ben remembers. We were just hanging out showing each other music that we liked. Andrew and Ben realized that -- despite their opposing views on methodology (one is spontaneously practical the other is practically spontaneous) -- they shared a common love of mystic paganism (ironic indeed on a campus named for the founder of Methodism) psychotropic sounds and the belief that a joke (or a joke song) could be sad profound and funny at the same time. The pair was drawn to the music of other duos and found themselves incorporating the implications of the hallucinatory power-twee of the Incredible String Band the roaring subway minimalist electronica of Suicide the silky pop-soul of Hall & Oates the pulsing narcotic trance of Spacemen 3 the avant-garde industrial romanticism of Royal Trux and much more into the constantly evolving sounds of MGMT.
