Album:
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.

Track:
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...

New M83 Video For "Graveyard Girl", Album out Next Week
-
Artist:
-
Album:Saturdays = Youth
-
Track:
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?

"...7 a.m. ... dusty road ... I'm gonna drive until it burns my bones... " M83-"Highway of Endless Dreams"Funny, how a lyric can be a cue to dredge up memories - even those you might want to remain forever submerged. As soon as M83's Morgan Kibby uttered the opening setup to "Highway of Endless Dreams", the dust storm gathered into a flood of information. In the early '90's, our family went on...

Track:
Okay so the actual date is up for debate. This one goes out to all those angst ridden chicks I loved so much in high school. May your black roses never fade and your skin never tan. I miss the ashen goth girl of my youth it seems they grow out of it and become lesbians and bitches. but for a breif moment they truly are cool. so I dedicate this track to them.

Album:Graveyard Girl

Track:
In conjunction with the April release of Saturdays=Youth, the french electro-ambient band, consisting of Anthony Gonzalez (and formerly Nicolas Fromageau), gears up for a tour this fall. First started in 2001, M83, named after the galaxy, adopts the "shoegazing" methods of bands like My Bloody Valentine. If you live under a rock as I do, "shoegazing" is a genre that exploded in the late 80's an...

via St. Murse I've been listening to M83 's "Graveyard Girl" from the recently released album Saturdays=Youth (and some Chairlift stuff) on repeat for a few days now. Love the retro Sonic Youth and New Order (I agree, David) feel of this song. Graveyard Girl - M83 ~~

Song of the Day: M83 - "We Own the Sky"
-
Artist:
-
Album:Saturdays = Youth
-
Track:
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...

Album:Saturdays = Youth

Track:
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.
