M83

The new M83 video just came out today.  Here is "Kim & Jessie":     The song is off Saturdays=Youth.  Again, more on the rock-ish side than the electronic.  Do you like this side of M83? Or prefer his older sounds?

M83’s latest, Saturdays=Youth, takes the listener on an imaginary time warp, one where seemingly dissimilar musical blends and memories meld, where Cocteau Twins era dream nostalgia merges with old techno styles to create a hermetically sealed world, imagined through the eyes and ears of various High School students, including you, dear reader. This record is so well put together its like scenes unfolding in a film, all working together, to define us, then and now, each ... MORE

M83 aka Anthony Gonzalez is back on duty with a brand new album: Saturdays=Youth to be released on April 15th on Mute. The very first single Couleurs is to be digitally out by February 26th including an exclusive remix by Jori Hulkkonen. Couleurs sounds like a fulfilling first impression accelarating my positive expectations on the new album. Gonzalez who has worked with producers Ken Thomas (Sigur Rós, Sugarcubes, Cocteau Twins, Suede and Clinic) and Ewan Pearson (Trace... MORE

For some reason, I thought M83 made electronic music, but this new video for "Graveyard Girl" is not electronic in the slightest. It's indie rock? dream-pop? "Graveyard Girl" is off M83's upcoming album Saturdays = Youth which comes out next week (April 15th). What genre of music is this exactly?

After posting that last report about M83 releasing a new album and touring the US this Spring, I received a press release with more details. It turns out that the first single from Saturdays = Youth will be "Couleurs" which will be released digitally on February 26th. The single includes a remix by Jori Hulkkonen. You can listen to a .ram streaming audio by clicking: "Couleurs" streaming on Mute As for the US tour, Anthony Gonzalez - the man behind M83 - has th... MORE

M83 - Who are they? A Flock of Seagulls cover band? I do dig this song.

Sonic Cathedral: club night/record label are releasing a new single on April 7th. It consists of a Maps remix of M83's "We Own the Sky" as well as M83's take of Maps' "To the Sky." James Chapman (Maps) provides a pulsing rush for Anthony Gonzalez's (M83) "We Own the Sky" - - - providing enough excitement for the inverse, that I feel like a child in anticipation for Christmas morning. Evidently these bedroom shoegazers must be looking up for a change. M83 has a full-leng... MORE

The title of M83's upcoming new album was revealed today, as well as tour dates in the US. The new album will be called Saturdays = Youth and it is set to be released April 15th on Mute.

The tour according to Prefix Mag: 05.20 Los Angeles, CA: Echoplex05.21 San Francisco, CA: Great American Music Hall05.23 Portland... MORE

I got wind of the first release off M83's new album Saturday = Youth today, and I have to say I'm in awe once again. It never ceases to amaze me how these guys produce such epic electronica over and over again, without making the genre sound tired or boring. Their tunes just seep into my bones and fill me up with so much emotion. It's great stuff, and this track, Couleurs, is no exception. It actually takes me back to the soundtrack for Assault On Precint 13, the 1976 ... MORE

I received a fascinating press release today about the ambient electronica musician M83. It's been awhile since we've heard anything new from the french artist, but it looks like that's about to change. Next month he will digitally release an album of songs that he recorded in 2006. He is currently in the studio working on an album that will be released some time next year. The studio album is being recorded with Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros, Sugar Cubes, Cocteau Twins, Suede... MORE

I love M83, a beautiful track that for some strange reason, probably my own head, reminds me of airports

Was on Pandora listening to my M83 channel again and this time, a non-album track came up. Until The Night Is Over. Very fresh song with nice piano and vocal harmonies. Wish it would have been on the album actually. I see why though, as it was of a different rhythm than the rest of Before The Dawn Heals Us album. http://www.pandora.com/music/song/828edb11e7dc626c

I would like to know what different people consider selling out. The reason I list M83 is because in the past having your song show up in a TV ad selling anything was considered selling out. I know they're not the only ones and I don't think this is selling out at all. A lot of people are doing it now. Royksopp is another. I am a musician who wants to do this. I would love my music to be in a commercial or video game or movie soundtrack. Almost exclusively!! My que... MORE
