MGMT Live Performance of Alien Days at KCRW

Date: April 28, 2014

In April 2014, MGMT performed 'Alien Days' live at Apogee Studio during Coachella week, showcasing their evolving sound and artistry. This performance came shortly after the release of their self-titled third album, 'MGMT,' which diverged from the catchy synth-pop they were initially known for. Released in 2013, the album reflects their complex relationship with fame and artistic identity. Interestingly, 'Alien Days' is a testament to their experimental approach, blending psychedelic elements with introspective lyrics. The live session captured the band's willingness to challenge expectations, steering away from mainstream success while aiming for artistic authenticity. Their career at this point was marked by a desire to explore deeper themes, making this performance a significant moment in their discography.
