M83
In 2003, Frenchmen Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau enjoyed international acclaim for the album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, a luscious blend of shoegaze aesthetics, ambient pop, and progressive textures. But M83 had been releasing material for several years, having issued their self-titled debut through the tiny but tastemaking French label Gooom in 2001. The success of Dead Cities, Red Seas brought attention not only to M83, but also to the Gooom label, which helped fuel the popularity of other glitchy, sleek, and vaguely psychedelic ...[more]

VINYL FORMAT. INCLUDES CD! Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Old fans will note a substantial difference between the new album and the previous releases; Saturdays = Youth is more shoegaze-y in texture and more pop in construction. While the galactic, deep space vibe is still there (frontman Anthony Gonzalez loves those distorted synths!), the overall aesthetic is more Cocteau Twins a la My Bloody Valentine rather than another addition to the towering electronic post-rock tradition that Mogwai and Sigur Rós [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Originally recorded in 2006, Digital Shades Vol. 1 exhibits the same textured richness as can be found on all of M83's releases. And while not a categorical sonic shift, Digital Shades follows its individual elegiac, lunar and dream-like path. Recorded primarily at his home studio with the assistance of Antoine Gaillet, (who also worked on Before the Dawn Heals Us), Gonzalez was able to work without pressure, working on the record at his own time and pace. Inspired by Eno [ read more ]

Before the Dawn Heals Us is M83's follow-up to the 2003 international breakthrough Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. If you're noticing a trend toward drifting album titles, that's deliberate -- M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez loves crafting antigravity masterpieces of layered and meandering synthesizers. He's also the principal player on Dawn, with previous collaborator Nicolas Fromageau having moved into solo work. Left to his own devices, Gonzalez has made a more cohesive recor [ read more ]
