MGMT

When MGMT took the stage at Summer Sonic in Osaka on August 18, 2019, they were riding the waves of their fourth studio album, 'Little Dark Age,' which had been released earlier that year in February. This album marked a noticeable shift in their sound, returning to more eclectic and synth-driven roots that fans had loved from their debut. While 'Little Dark Age' garnered critical praise and showcased a mature reflection on contemporary themes, the performance of 'Kids' during such an electric festival highlighted the band's ability to blend nostalgic vibes with fresh energy. It's fascinating to think that despite their journey through various musical phases since their breakout in 2007, MGMT still captivates audiences with that same iconic anthem, proving that some songs just never fade away. Watching them live in Osaka encapsulates that magical moment where past and present collide.
