We Hear of Love, of Youth, and of Disillusionment is a
Daytrotter session recorded at the first
Moogfest[1] in
Asheville,
North Carolina by
MGMT.[2] It contains a cover of "Only a Shadow", a song originally performed by
The Cleaners from Venus. The song was part of several of MGMT's setlists on their tour dates for the promotion of their second album
Congratulations, and this release marks the first studio take on the song.
The session can be listened to online at Daytrotter,[3] and the cover illustration was made by the Daytrotter team member Johnnie Cluney.
