Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden didn't expect to get a call from Columbia Records when they formed MGMT as an outlet to experiment with psychedelic pop, but the major label picked up on their talent early. Riding a wave of hype, MGMT's genre-defying 2007 debut LP Oracular Spectacular became an instant hit, connecting with fans of indie pop, electronica, and psych-rock alike. They've since made a foray into prog rock, keeping listeners guessing with both visuals and sounds on their 2010 and 2013 albums—and winning over new fans with their weirdness.
