MGMT

At the time of this live performance on November 17, 2008, MGMT was riding high on the success of their debut album, 'Oracular Spectacular.' This album, released a year earlier, catapulted them into the spotlight with hits like 'Time to Pretend' and 'Electric Feel.' The live recording from L'Aéronef showcases their psychedelic synth-pop sound, perfectly capturing the band's energetic vibe and the euphoria of their early fan base. Interestingly, this performance was during the peak of their rise, as they were quickly becoming a defining act of the late 2000s indie music scene. It's fascinating to hear how these tracks, borne from a fresh wave of creativity, translated live, leaving an indelible mark on everyone's memory. This energy and the band's signature blend of catchy melodies and introspective lyrics set the stage for their evolving musical journey.
