MGMT

In late 2013, MGMT was riding the wave of their self-titled album, which was released in September of that same year. This record saw them taking a daring departure from the catchy hooks of their earlier hits, like "Electric Feel" and "Kids." Instead, they experimented with a darker, more psychedelic sound, hinting at an evolution in their artistic journey. The live recording of "Alien Days" from their performance at Teatro Caupolicán in Chile encapsulates this transition beautifully. Notably, this song was part of their "Congratulations" album released back in 2010, showcasing their signature blend of dreamy melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. It’s interesting to think how the crowd in Chile, amidst their shifting sound, was experiencing both a nostalgic connection to past hits and the exciting evolution of MGMT's new direction.
