MGMT

On March 19, 2010, MGMT delivered an electrifying live performance of 'Time To Pretend' at London Heaven, a show that showcased their rise to stardom. At this point in their career, they had just released their sophomore album, 'Congratulations,' which came out a year earlier in 2010. This album marked a departure from the mainstream pop sensibilities of their debut, 'Oracular Spectacular,' leaning toward more experimental sounds. Interestingly, 'Time To Pretend,' a hit from their first album, symbolizes the band's artistic tug-of-war between commercial appeal and deeper musical exploration. The live energy captured in this performance reflects MGMT's dynamic stage presence and their journey as artists venturing beyond the confines of radio-ready tracks. It's a nostalgic glance back at their transformative phase, blending accessible tunes with rich, atmospheric elements.
