MGMT

Musical Group

American music duo formed by Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, known for blending psychedelic rock and synth-pop since the mid-2000s and for the breakthrough album Oracular Spectacular.

Members: Andrew VanWyngarden and Benjamin (Ben) Goldwasser. Signed to Columbia Records in 2006 (as noted in reviews). Producer Dave Fridmann has been a frequent collaborator.

DeBaser's handful of reviews trace MGMT's trajectory from the breakout Oracular Spectacular through experimental detours to a pop comeback with Little Dark Age and a reflective Loss of Life. Critics praise production, highlight key singles and note oscillation between accessible pop and adventurous psychedelia. Reviews emphasize Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser as the creative core.

For:Fans of psychedelic indie pop, synth-pop and readers of album criticism.

 "Loss of Life" is the album of two musicians who feel they have nothing left to prove to others and create music primarily for themselves, hoping someone else along the journey may find comfort in it.
