On May 11, 2010, MGMT performed their song "Brian Eno" on the Late Show with David Letterman. This performance came shortly after the release of their second studio album, "Congratulations," which debuted in April 2010. Unlike their highly popular debut album, "Oracular Spectacular," which featured hits like "Electric Feel" and "Time to Pretend," "Congratulations" showcased a more experimental sound and received mixed critical reviews. This shift in style marked a significant transition in MGMT's career as they moved away from mainstream pop appeal, emphasizing their artistic growth. The Letterman performance was notable for its vibrant, psychedelic visuals and contributed to the growing discourse about the band's evolution, solidifying their status as a distinctive force in the indie rock scene.
