MGMT

At the time of the live recording of 'The Youth' during Personal Fest in Buenos Aires on October 4, 2014, MGMT had just released their self-titled third album, 'MGMT,' earlier that same year. This album marked a departure from the catchy, synth-laden hits of their debut, leaning into more experimental and complex sounds. It's worth noting that this was a phase of introspection for the duo as they navigated the pressures of stardom; the new direction was a bold statement of their artistic evolution. Fans were curious about how the crowd would respond to the less radio-friendly material, but the live rendition of 'The Youth' captures their unique vibe brilliantly, showcasing their energy even in unexpected territory. This performance is a snapshot of MGMT redefining themselves while still holding onto the artistic core that fans cherished.
