The post MGMT debut new song “In the Afternoon” live in Las Vegas: Watch appeared first on Consequence of Sound.
Months after wrapping their most recent proper tour, MGMT played a one-off gig in Las Vegas on Thursday night. Fans who made it out to the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort were treated to the live debut of a new song called “In the Afternoon”.
The song marks the duo’s first music since 2018’s Little Dark Age, though it appears to have origins dating back almost a decade. One intrepid Reddit user discovered a 2010 interview with Andrew VanWyngarden in which he told radio station WFMU he’d just written a song called “In the Afternoon”. Fast forward to last night, and fans finally got to hear the (surely evolved) tune.
“In the Afternoon” has a lackadaisical jangle thanks to a leading acoustic guitar, with hints of The Cure in the unhurried warmth. Take a listen via fan-shot video below.
