In November 2007, MGMT was riding the wave of success from their debut album, "Oracular Spectacular," which had been released just a month earlier. This album not only introduced hits like "Electric Feel" and "Kids," but it also marked a significant moment in indie pop, influencing the genre’s landscape during that period. The live performance at KCRW captured the band during this explosive time, showcasing their infectious sound and innovative style. Interestingly, MGMT's experimental approach, blending various genres, set them apart from their contemporaries, and their live shows quickly gained a reputation for their energetic and psychedelic atmosphere. As a result, this KCRW session helped solidify their status as festival favorites and cultural icons, further propelling their music into the mainstream.
