Does anyone here know of any other bands like MGMT or Animal Collective? Like psychedelic pop I guess

Passion pit is kinda like that. Try using pandora thats pretty good at giving similar bands. but those bands may just bring a lot more random indie rock.
 
You should try electric president as well. They are a lot more chill but still really, really awesome.

Maybe Grizzly Bear?  Department of Eagles?  They're both more chill but still pretty similar.  Maybe check out Panda Bear, a member of Animal Collective.

Annuals
 
Yeasayer

try
The Sea and Cake - The Biz sample
Archer Prewitt - Three sample
Jim Guthrie - Now, More Than Ever sample
The Beach Boys - Smiley Smile/Wild Honey sample
Roxy Music - The Early Years sample

Also, after having listened to a few OK GO songs, they sound pretty similar to MGMT but not really to Animal Collective.

 

[Noyan]

OK GO??? Idk if we're thinking of the same OK GO. . . The mainstream pop rock band? No synths or psychotropic melodies?! They have some good stuff actually but ehh.. I'm going for more soothing and harmonious with some warm undertones if that makes sense

Maybe one of these might do the trick
Panda Bear
Avey Tare and Kría Brekkan
Atlas Sound
Black Dice
Terrestrial Tones
Vampire Weekend
Passion Pit
The Management
Klaxons
Julian Casablancas
Neon Indian

Bear in Heaven can be described as Psychedelic Pop. According to Wikipedia "the sound of the band incorporates influences from psychedelic music, electronic music, and krautrock."
