Description:
Electronic/dream pop act M83 is French musician ANTHONY GONZALEZ. Formed in 2001, M83 have released five critically acclaimed albums; the most recent, 2008’s ‘Saturdays = Youth’ was recorded with KEN THOMAS (SIGUR ROS, COCTEAU TWINS), and EWAN PEARSON (THE RAPTURE, LADYTRON). That album saw M83 tour with KINGS OF LEON, THE KILLERS and DEPECHE MODE overseas and Australia nationally alongside MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS in 2008 as nationally part of the 2009 V FESTIVAL and their own East Coast headline shows.Co-produced by bassist JUSTIN MELDAL-JOHNSEN (best known for his work with BECK, NIN, THE MARS VOLTA) and mixed by TONY HOFFER (AIR, THE KOOKS) it took just 13 months to complete and features guest vocalists ZOLA JESUS (on “Intro”) and BRAD LANER (“Splendor”), plus contributions from Gonzalez’s long-term collaborator, his brother YANN. Gonzalez’s decision to record a 22-track double album was the result of a youth impressed by THE BEATLES’ ‘White’ album, ‘Ummagumma’ by PINK FLOYD and SMASHING PUMPKINS’ ‘Mellon Collie’ and ‘The Infinite Sadness’. “Artists that tried to do something as big as a double album were always inspiring to me,” he explains. “It’s a lot of work, but I always wanted to achieve something like that one day, and I just felt that the time was right for me to make one.” Early reviews for the album have been outstanding, with STEREOGUM’s premature album evaluation declared “The new M83 album sounds incredible… a deeply impressive piece of work… There’s not a single weak track”.
