Release Notes:
SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
Finding an unlikely middle point between Suicide's hostile, proto-electro punk
art noise and the sardonic, pop-friendly sound of the Flaming Lips, MGMT started
as electroclash musical terrorists but quickly grew into an eclectic, brainy pop
group with psychedelic overtones. MGMT first formed in 2002, during Ben
Goldwasser and Andrew Van Wyngarden's freshman year as art students at Wesleyan
University in Middletown, Connecticut. The band was initially known as the
Management, and its shows consisted mostly of backing tapes, synthesizers, and
prerecorded vocals playing as Goldwasser and Van Wyngarden engaged the audience
in a manner somewhere between performance art and good old-fashioned punky
hostility. By their senior year, things had toned down considerably on-stage and
the duo began augmenting its live sound with backing musicians. After
graduating, MGMT released an electro-rock EP, 2005's Time to Pretend, on the
tiny indie label Cantora Records. For its full-length debut, the duo partnered
with producer Dave Fridmann and recorded Oracular Spectacular, a far more
musically expansive album that was released digitally in late 2007. A
traditional CD release followed in January 2008, and Oracular Spectacular
ultimately enjoyed both critical approval and commercial success, with the album
selling over 500,000 copies in the U.S. and going platinum in Australia, the
U.K., and Ireland. In 2009, MGMT began working with producer Sonic Boom on their
second album, Congratulations. Released in 2010, the record found them growing
more ambitious with their sound, and they were rewarded for their trouble when
their sophomore effort debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard chart. The
following year, the bandmembers dug deep into their record collections to curate
an installment of the Late Night Tales mixtape series. In April 2013, MGMT
released "Alien Days", a cassette single that previewed their self-titled third
record, which was released that September.
