MGMT

In July 2014, during the Main Square Festival in Arras, France, MGMT performed a set featuring tracks from their self-titled third studio album, released earlier that same year. This album marked a significant moment in the band's evolution, as they transitioned from the commercial success of their earlier hits like "Kids" and "Electric Feel" to explore a more psychedelic and experimental sound. The performance included a mix of fan favorites and new material, highlighting the band's willingness to take creative risks. Notably, "Cool Song No. 2" and "Alien Days" were part of the setlist, underscoring their shift away from mainstream pop towards a more avant-garde direction. This live recording captures MGMT at a pivotal point in their career, where they reconciled their past success with their artistic ambitions. The festival atmosphere further amplified the band's eclectic sound, showcasing their growth and experimentation in front of a live audience.
