MGMT

In August 2012, MGMT was riding the waves of their genre-bending career, particularly influenced by their previous album, 'Congratulations,' released in 2010. This was a pivotal time for the band, as they were transitioning from their breakout hit, 'Oracular Spectacular,' towards a more experimental sound. The live performance of 'Alien Days' at the Osheaga Festival showcases this shift, introducing fans to new material that hinted at a different direction, blending psychedelic elements with avant-garde styles. Interestingly, 'Alien Days' would later appear on their self-titled album released in 2013, serving as a defining chapter that emphasized their willingness to explore new artistic terrain. It's fascinating to see how their live performances were not just concerts, but a beacon of their evolving musical identity.
