M83 Reveal Plans for "Epic" Double Album

[suprefan]

Anthony Gonzales will be Dj-ing at Space 15 Twenty tomorrow night.

[TallGuyCM]

M83 on Carson Daly in a bit. Probably footage from the Fonda show, sorry for the late notice.

[TallGuyCM]

How fucking stupid. Reunion was the additional song they showed, but they had major technical issues during that song at the Fonda...they made it seem like the bass player kid was supposed to sing lead on the second verse and you could see Anthony trying to figure out what was going on in the background.

M83 just sold out The Vic Theater in less than an hour.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

So I have never listened to these jerks. What do they sound like?

Not shocking at all...

It's one jerk actually. And if you listened to the new album and the last album to begin with, you would think indie french pop.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Got a recommendation for the order to listen to his stuff in?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Chronologically. Start with the self-titled. I think you'd dig it MJA.

[guedita]

Take some vicodin before you dive into the discography.

So I'm in my western civ class and the prof was going over some last minute things before we took a final. Prof is kind of strange and ended up talking about the frog song off the new album compared to a shift in perception by some philosopher blahblah.

The only real hipster (the stereotypical kind) Ive ever seen in person thats been sitting in the back of the class the whole semester legitimately says, "Well damn, guess I can't listen to them anymore."

The guy next to me and I were laughing so hard we were crying. K, that's my story.

I just heard a song from the new record on an episode of Gossip Girl*. I think it's time we saw other people, Anthony.




*But Brandon, why are you watching Gossip Girl? My roommate is watching it and I am sitting here. Whatever. Not important.

Beck, Feist, Lcd Soundsystem and others have all been featured on Gossip Girl...does it really matter?

[suprefan]

I think Brandon is finding it difficult that he is licensing his music to make a living.

[hawkingvsreeve]

I dont have an issue with that. I'd prefer it go to more artistically worthy endeavors, however. At least it was a new shitty song.

[suprefan]

I think he had a chat with The Black Keys on how you get paid.

2013 headliner.

The Coachella leg of their tour wound its way to SLC last night. Very similar setlist to Coachella, but expanded out with additional songs for a longer settime. They kept treats like "Sitting" and "Fall" in the set list, and added a couple more Before the Dawn Heals Us tracks. I love the arrangements of the Saturdays = Youth songs, just really fantastic. Hearing "Steve McQueen" and "Wait" live (the former for the second time), I was really impressed with how much of a '95-era Smashing Pumpkins sound those songs have. When the new album was released, Anthony talked Mellon Collie as an influence quite a bit, but I took it mostly as a thematic influence. But the live arrangements of those tracks remind me so much of the Pumpkins, songs like "Muzzle" and "To Forgive," respectively. "Couleurs" destroyed. I had such a great time.

Wish I could have been there. Though I despise In The Venue. Could have after work if it was @ my beloved Urban Lounge, though he is much too large for that venue I suppose. Oh well, saw him twice @ Coachella. Have to work sometime I suppose. Here, here, to more SLC Coachellites!

[Miroir Noir]

Someone among us needs to risk the arson charge and totally and finally rid the world of In the Venue.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

In The Venue is such a stupid name.

[Miroir Noir]

If you made a top ten list of things wrong with it, the stupid name probably wouldn't crack it.

[Mr. Porter]

I wished he played "Graveyard Girl" and "New Map" at Coachella. Those flutes at the end always get to me.

[Mr. Porter]

And I just bought a ticket to see him/them at Terminal 5 NYC

[Miroir Noir]

Moar kids!

[hawkingvsreeve]

This is like a really bad Heroes episode. Which is to say- this is just like a Heroes episode.

[Miroir Noir]

Enough with the goddamn kids, Anthony:

Pitchfork interview yesterday:

Pitchfork: How do you think people expecting another M83 album out of this soundtrack might react?
AG: That's my problem, not their problem. Now, it's gonna be hard to make an album or a song without having someone talking to me about "Midnight City". The song took up so much space in my life. I'll never complain about its success-- I think it's fantastic to have a hit that people can sing and dance to-- but I'm scared of it. If there's no "Midnight City" on my next album, what are the people gonna think about me? Are they still gonna love me? That's scary. I've been trying to make my career grow little by little, and on this album I took a bigger leap. But we'll see what happens. I'm excited and frightened at the same time.

[luckyface]

Hopefully, whatever leap he takes, he won't try to sing like Peter Gabriel again.
