[1] After graduating and changing the band's name to MGMT, they released an EP titled Time to Pretend in 2005 through the independent record label Cantora Records; music videos were recorded for two of the EP's songs, "Boogie Down" and "Destrokk". [2] [3] The critical success of the EP and extensive touring brought the group to the attention of Columbia Records, which signed them in 2006.
MGMT worked extensively with producer Dave Fridmann in recording their debut studio album, Oracular Spectacular , which was released to digital retailers in 2007, with a physical release following in early 2008.

[7]
In early 2010, MGMT collaborated with rapper Kid Cudi and electronic rock duo Ratatat on the single "Pursuit of Happiness", which reached number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA: [10] two different music videos were recorded for the song. [11] [12] "Pursuit of Happiness" also achieved chart success in European territories, peaking at number two in France and number three in the Wallonia region of Belgium. [13] [14] The band released their second studio album, Congratulations , in April 2010, with producer Sonic Boom contributing heavily during the recording process. [1] The album peaked at number two in the Billboard 200 and reached the top ten of several other national album charts, including in Australia, Canada, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. [4] [6] [15] [16] [17] Four singles were released from the album: "Flash Delirium", "Siberian Breaks", "It's Working" and "Congratulations", with "Flash Delirium" charting in Belgium, Canada and the United Kingdom.
