MGMT

In April 2012, MGMT performed 'The Youth' at the stunning Pirámides de Cholula, a venue as rich in history as their sound. This live recording came right on the heels of their second album, 'Congratulations,' which had been released in 2010. During this phase, MGMT was exploring a more experimental approach compared to their debut 'Oracular Spectacular,' which made a significant splash with hits like 'Kids' and 'Electric Feel.' By 2012, the band's artistic evolution was evident as they delved deeper into psychedelic sounds and abstract lyrics. Interestingly, 'The Youth' reflects themes of disillusionment and the fleeting nature of youth, resonating profoundly with their audience. Capturing the band's chemistry on stage, this performance highlights their transformative journey, serving as a bridge between their mainstream success and a more niche artistic endeavor.
