MGMT

In April 2014, when MGMT delivered an electrifying performance of "Kids" at Coachella, they were riding the wave of their third studio album, "MGMT." Released in 2013, the album marked a notable departure from their critically acclaimed debut, "Oracular Spectacular." It was during this time that MGMT was exploring a more experimental sound, which, while divisive among fans, showcased their artistic growth. The band was grappling with their identity in a post-"Electric Feel" world, aiming to balance commercial appeal with creative freedom. The live rendition at Coachella captured a moment of excitement and introspection, drawing a large crowd that swayed to the nostalgia-infused beats of "Kids," one of their signature hits. Interestingly, despite mixed reviews for their recent work, the song remains a festival favorite, reminding everyone of MGMT's unique place in the indie rock ecosystem.
