MGMT

On April 15, 2014, MGMT graced the stage at Apogee Studio in Santa Monica for a special live performance of 'Siberian Breaks,' a standout track from their sophomore album, 'Congratulations,' released in 2010. At this point in their career, the band was navigating a unique artistic phase, transitioning away from their breakout hits while exploring new sonic territories. This live recording showcases their evolution, blending psychedelic rock with alternative sounds, an intriguing shift from the synth-heavy, catchy tunes of their debut. Interestingly, 'Siberian Breaks' features a sprawling structure, including various tempos and genres, reflecting MGMT's artistic ambition. This performance marks a commitment to their more experimental side, inviting listeners on a journey rather than sticking to radio-friendly formats. It’s a glimpse into who MGMT was becoming, and a testament to their fearless creativity in a fast-changing music landscape.
