MGMT Live Performance of When You Die from Beale Street Music Festival
In 2017, MGMT was making waves with their third studio album, "Little Dark Age," which wouldn't be released until the following year, in 2018. However, during this time, the duo were already slowly unveiling their new sound, blending introspective lyrics with rich, psychedelic elements that fans had grown to love. The live debut of "When You Die" at the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis is particularly noteworthy; it showcases the band's evolving artistry and how they've matured since their breakout hits in the late 2000s. This performance hints at a more thoughtful, layered approach while still holding onto the whimsical charm that initially captivated listeners. It's an exciting glimpse into a transitional phase, capturing the essence of MGMT's ability to reinvent themselves while remaining authentic.
