MGMT

In September 2017, MGMT delivered a captivating performance of 'Time to Pretend' at the Life Is Beautiful Festival, providing fans a nostalgic trip back to their debut album, 'Oracular Spectacular,' which was released in 2007. This iconic track, with its ethereal melodies and reflective lyrics, perfectly encapsulates the band's rise to fame, blending elements of indie rock and synth-pop. By this point in their career, MGMT was transitioning from the mainstream success of their earlier albums into a more experimental phase, having just released 'Little Dark Age' in 2018, which continued to explore new musical landscapes. Interestingly, the live recording showcased a mature and evolved MGMT, juxtaposing the carefree spirit of their earlier years with a more thoughtful aesthetic that engages both long-time fans and a new generation of listeners.
