MGMT

In August 2012, MGMT delivered a vibrant live performance at Osheaga, showcasing their fresh and experimental sound. This concert came shortly after the release of their self-titled album, "MGMT," in 2013, which marked a new direction for the band—steering away from their earlier, more pop-centric hits to explore more eclectic and psychedelic influences. Interestingly, the live version of 'Time to Pretend' from this performance serves as a reminder of their breakout hit, which captures that spark of youthful optimism and existential questioning. While some fans felt the setlist, perhaps featuring slower tracks, didn't quite match the energy they expected, the evening was still spelled with excitement, especially during the fireworks. This paradox of expectations versus reality reflects the evolving nature of MGMT, as they continuously experiment with their sound while navigating the complexities of fame.
