Album Description
For M83's chief star-gazer Anthony Gonzalez, his youth is something he looks back upon with affection, something that has become the defining theme of his enchanting new album, "Saturdays = Youth" Recorded with Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros, Sugar Cubes, Cocteau Twins, Suede) and Ewan Pearson (Tracey Thorn, The Rapture, Ladytron) "Saturdays = Youth" delivers the rich sonic textures for which M83 is well known - this time with a more focused approach to song structure and form.

Customer Reviews

Healing the margin from the 80s
This album has a different shift from Frenchfolk M83's last two albums
Digital Shades and Before the Dawn Heals us; there's no moon
romance in this album, but it still upkeeps the theatrical and
searching sound. The `youth' it attempts is filtered through nostalgia
for the purposefully fake sounds of the '80s,. This album could easily
be classified as fantasy pop music (the vocals occasionally sound sinister).
Sometimes there are obvious musical parallels to people like Phil Collins--but
makes sense with the reminiscent 80s. Play any of `em. if you flip through
the cd cover, note how each person is divinely beautiful .

fantastic
These Frenchmen have produced a fantastic album that mixes kitschy 80s pop with the sounds of the shoegaze scene. Great live band - saw them in May. Totally great gig.

Favorite songs on this thing: Couleurs, Kim & Jessie, Graveyard Girl, Midnight Souls Still Remain, etc, etc.

I can't yet say if this is their best album overall, probably not as good as "dead cities" - although it's different. Need some more time I think.

Pick it up!!!!!!!!

M83
The sound of this album is very different than what I tend to listen to. It has an eclectic feel. It's very Indie. Overall it is fairly good.
