MGMT

In April 2008, MGMT was riding the wave of their debut album, 'Oracular Spectacular,' which had just exploded onto the scene. With hits like 'Time to Pretend' and 'Electric Feel,' the band was swiftly gaining recognition in the indie rock world. Coachella 2008 was a pivotal moment for them, showcasing their unique blend of psychedelic pop and rock to a broader audience. This performance not only solidified their innovative sound but also marked a key point in their journey, where they began to transition from obscure artist to festival headliner. Interestingly, the energy of that performance captured the essence of their youthful explorations, a theme echoed throughout their early work, making 'Time to Pretend' a fitting anthem for the occasion.
