MGMT is an American psychedelic rock band founded by Benjamin Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden. They formed at Wesleyan University and originally signed with Cantora Records before joining Columbia Records and Red Ink in 2006. MGMT gained recognition early on, being named "Artist of the Day" by Spin.com and a top ten "Artist to Watch" by Rolling Stone in 2007. Their debut album, Oracular Spectacular, achieved international success, reaching number one on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and being named the best album of 2008 by NME.

In addition to their commercial success, MGMT has received critical acclaim throughout their career. Their first album was ranked as the 18th best album of the decade by Rolling Stone magazine. The band's songs also made waves in Australia's Triple J Hottest 100 2008 countdown, with "Electric Feel" coming in second place. MGMT was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards in 2010.

MGMT continued to evolve their sound with subsequent albums, including Congratulations released in 2010 and their third album released in 2013. With their unique blend of psychedelic rock and catchy melodies, MGMT remains a prominent force in the music industry.

A joyous return and everything you couldwant from MGMT. A very "MGMT MGMT album" which the band describes as "a group of songs about love and change, first and foremost." Descriptors from the band include: bold, flavorful, playful, sincere, optimistic, perceptive. Loss Of Life was produced by MGMT and Patrick Wimberly (Solange, Lil Yachty, MGMT), with mixing and additional production by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Interpol, Spoon).

The album includes the first ever MGMT song with a feature, courtesy Christine and the Queens. The album artwork has been licensed from John Baldessari's estate and is an artwork titled Noses and Ears, Etc. (Part Two). 

Formed in 2002, MGMT released their era-defining debut album Oracular Spectacular in 2007. One of the most influential albums of the '00’s - it went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide and was certified Gold or Platinum in over 10 major territories, including double platinum in UK, Platinum in Australia, Gold in France and Platinum in the USA. It gave the world evergreen hits such as “Kids”, “Electric Feel” and “Time to Pretend” which have inspired, and continue to inspire new generations of artists and music fans alike to this day - those three songs combined have been streamed over 2 billion times on audio streaming platforms since released. Always taking an unexpected creative turn at every new record, but always maintaining their cultural and commercial relevance over the subsequent 15 years, MGMT later released three further studio albums: Congratulations (2010), MGMT (2013) and Little Dark Age (2018).
