MGMT

At the Just Like Heaven Festival in 2023, MGMT celebrated their return to the live stage with a performance of "Time to Pretend," a track from their iconic debut album, "Oracular Spectacular," which dropped way back in 2007. By this point in their career, MGMT had already evolved significantly, with their third studio album, "Little Dark Age," released in 2018 marking a fascinating return to more critically acclaimed sounds. Their journey has been quite the rollercoaster, often oscillating between mainstream hits and artistic explorations. Interestingly, the band has always maintained a sense of mystique, taking a more unconventional route in the psychedelic rock scene. The live recording in Pasadena not only showcased their classic sound but also underscored how they've embraced their legacy while continuing to experiment. It's a testament to their enduring appeal and artistic growth.
