MGMT

On May 24, 2019, MGMT took to the stage at Webster Hall, delivering a live performance of their iconic track "Time to Pretend." This performance occurred after their third studio album, "Little Dark Age," released in February 2018, which was a critical success and marked a return to their synth-pop roots. By this point in their career, MGMT had evolved significantly from their early days of mainstream hits like "Electric Feel" and were exploring deeper themes in their music. Their live set likely resonated with fans, blending nostalgia with their current artistic direction. Interestingly, the band has a history of pushing back against commercial expectations, often making their live shows a unique experience, emphasizing the raw energy of their performances. This moment captures the balance MGMT has struck between their earlier, more accessible sound and their adventurous, experimental tendencies.
