M83 - Couleurs

M83 is Anthony Gonzalez from Antibes, France. Known for creating epic, ethereal, soaring, stunning soundscapes - M83 has played a significant role in many 3am back-to-mine sessions in our camp.

Soon to be released album Saturdays = Youth, takes a slightly different approach than previous efforts, Dead Cities, Red Seas, Lost Ghosts; Before the Dawn Heals Us and Digital Shades Volume 1.

As the title suggests, this aims to encapture teenage exuberance, late nights and care-free play so while this certainly is not lacking the beautiful, sometimes haunting layered synths he's famous for, it's accompanied with a brighter, and more upbeat approach. This album transcends the wasted, 80's weekend parties of his own formative teenage years.

M83 tours this March with Midnight Juggernauts at the Enmore in Sydney.

Here's the first glimpse, "Couleurs".
