For those who have spent the last year living under a rock, MGMT are the latest Brooklyn-based band to have all the music blogs abuzz. Members Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser have crafted a psychedelic sound that explores gritty electronic dance rhythms and spacey synthesizers but remains rooted in '70s pop. The sound has caught the attention of indie elitists and mainstream music fans alike, and has earned the band a performance on 'The Late Show with David Letterman,' as well as opening act slots for major artists like Of Montreal, Radiohead and, most recently, Beck.

Riding on their wave of recent success, MGMT are releasing a film documenting the creation of their single 'Electric Feel' and the accompanying music video. Spinner has exclusive footage of the movie, which gives fans a behind-the-scenes look as the bandmates tinker in the studio, hang out on their video set and go about their day-to-day in Brooklyn. As you'll see, the guys are definitely a colorful pair.
