Musicians don’t have to be cool people, it is after all about the music. Gonzalez you would expect to be defending his fans after listening to his albums. While his lawyer probably doesn’t enjoy it (with a message of apology).This story probably does more for M83’s fanbase. Hey he might be the first person to [...]Related posts:Jose Gonzalez Artist Review Supposedly, he has a new EP out cal

This another entry for the “We Own The Sky” video contest that happened last month. Luke Ewing & Samm Hodges of Mothlight Creative did an outstanding & professional job. The storyline is about Zeus’ wandering wife Hephaestus (Aphrodite) & his siblings (Persephone & Apollo) set out to dethrone their tyrant father.Take out: rad remix by The Vanishing System.“We Own the Sky (The Vanishing Sys

M83 come onto stage with Anthony Gonzales, Morgan Kibby and a drummer surrounded by what I can only describe as a Gladiators Danger Zone box that protected its contestants from tennis balls. Aesthetics aside though, M83 have a powerful combination now that includes the mercurial Kibby who sings passionately and intensely throughout.

When I look at my notes from this past weekend's M83 show words like sparkly and ethereal are the first ones that I notice. Note to self: Those are lame, overused words to describe music. A one-off gig at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles' newest architectural landmark, brought M83 aka Anthony Gonzalez, his laptop and synthesizer together with the Los Angeles Philharmonic' like indie ro...

Despite a runtime of almost 36-minutes, Digital Shades is anything but brisk. Gonzalez perfectly juxtaposes each track so that the album blends just the right way. Often times, you'd swear you were listening to a single 36-minute song.That's both positive and negative. As a whole, the album shouldn't have so many different parts that it would feel choppy and uneven. On the other hand, some trac...

The Antibes-native duo M83 debuted their self-titled LP later that year, which finally saw its United States official release in 2005. M83 is surprisingly polished for a first-time record as compared with other electronic groups. I'm not talking production but more musical focus, at least in M83 terms.The band does branch out a little in experimenting, as with their brief dabs in noise pop (an ...

On Saturdays=Youth, Anthony Gonzalez of M83 churns out the kind of epic, spacey, electronic anthems that Pink Floyd would've, had they only a better Roland synthesizer and maybe a little less LSD.The voices on "We Own The Sky" are mixed low and whispery, and often lost in the layers of arena-sized synths and celestial guitar tones. There's something about burnt stars crying and secrets from the...

Blog-adored French 'shoe-raver' (that's shoe-gaze meets electronica) M83 heads out on some of his biggest dates to date this week. DiS caught up with him to find out where his head is at before these arena shows.

Who?M83 is the project of Anthony Gonzalez, a French musician who has dabbled in everything from shoegaze to electronica to, more recently, dream pop. While the ambient sounds of his first few albums were beautiful to put on during a lazy day, Gonzalez's latest album, Saturdays = Youth, contains a batch of well-written pop songs you can listen to any time.And I Care Because?- He made the ultim...

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?

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?
