M83

M83 are an indie pop act by French musician Anthony Gonzalez. It is named after a spiral galaxy, Messier 83. The band was founded in 2001 by Gonzalez and former member Nicolas Fromageau in Antibes, France.[1] The musical style of M83 owes something to the shoegazing genre in its extensive use of reverb effects and lyrics spoken softly over loud instrumentals, although M83's songs employ considerably less guitar than most shoegazing bands. Gonzalez and Fromageau parted ways shortly after touring for their second album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts,[1] and now Gonzalez records mainly on his own, often with the help of his brother Yann Gonzalez, vocalist/keyboardist Morgan Kibby, and drummer Loïc Maurin.

    I definitely prefer Hurry Up, We're Dreaming disc 2 over disc 1. Need to check out their first album.

    Hmm...ehhh, maybe one of the worst songs on a very strong album. It's just so corny.

    I really like some of the instrumentation on that song. The warm analog synths are really nice and give off that classic M83 sound. But the story the little girl is telling about frogs and your mother turning into your father just feels a bit forced to me. And then the happy, bubbly music and backing vocals toward the end kind of make me cringe a bit.

    I've tried listening to this guy a few times and I'm just not in to it. I think it sounds like 80's garbage.

    Is there a specific song I need to start with or something? I started with Midnight City and couldn't even make it through the whole song.

    I don't think I've listened to a single album more than Hurry Up, We're dreaming over the past 4 months. It really is a great album. The run of Another Wave From you > Splendor > Year One, One UFO > Fountains > Steve McQueen > Echoes of Mine is sonic awesomeness. Album should have ended there, IMO, even though the last two songs are good. Echoes of Mine just draws the whole album together so perfectly.

    A girl I went to high school with is dating a guy from this M83 thing...Anthony Gonzalez...She is a babe.

    Does this make me famous?
