M83 back with new record after three-year break
- Artists:
- M83 »
Starry-eyed, French whimsy may have been pretty dormant this year, but M83 are back early enough in the next to divert minds from Ed Banger just before it gets boring.
Saturday = Youth is out through Mute on the 15th of April, breaking what’ll be by then a three-year silence since last longplayer Before the Dawn Heals Us.
We found a track from it posted here, at Stereogum.com. ‘Couleurs’ points to more of the same, but sounds different enough to burst rather than bore. It shimmers hard enough to remind me of what I’ve been hearing in Telepathe the last few months.
Anyway, tracked:
‘You, Appearing’
‘Kim & Jessie
‘Skin Of The Night’
‘Graveyard Girl’
‘Couleurs’
‘Up!’
‘We Own The Sky’
‘Highway Of Endless Dreams’
‘Too Late’
‘Dark Moves Of Love’
‘Midnight Souls Still Remain’

Twinkle, twinkle: listen to DiS's exclusive Constellation Records podcast
its about
bloody time
I could have sworn..
that they brought out a record called digital shades a couple of months ago... I'll perhaps give this a listen at some point anyway.
they did
but it wasn't a "proper" new album. it's pretty good though, very minimal and such.
figment
reading this article I was thinking Digital Shades was just a figment of my imagination. Colouring the Void is ruddy lovely.
and has 'The Highest Journey'
which is possibly my favourite thing of theirs that they've done.
i really should get that at some point...
new song from the album sounds awesome too :)
M83 must be lauhging
This has been the top story on DiS for 4 days now..!
i say
bring it on!!
wow
Telepathe are great.
the new song is a beaut
i think digital shades deserves to be counted though, even if it wasnt a full band project (the other guy is back with him now right?)
cant see the new album beating 'dead ghosts' though.
