[MUSIC REVIEW] M83

PLEASE VISIT LOUDFARM, YOUR BAY AREA MUSIC CONNECTION.

The work of a solitary artist, Anthony Gonzalez, is manifested as the French indie/electronic/shoegaze noises of M83. He flaunts a blatantly 80's synth sound juxtaposed with sultry whispered lyrics to create electronic dance beats that evoke a Boards of Canada meets Pat Benetar feel. M83 has been featured in two film trailers, the Russian flick "Night Watch" and the 2006 adaptation of "A Scanner, Darkly." He has also made appearance on and in the albums of various artists such as Bloc Party, The Deftones, and Snow Patrol. These collaborations have garnered moderate success and attention since M83's formation in 2001 and all five albums have been well-received by an increasingly larger audience. If you like pop/electro/indie/or just like to dance then this tripped out pop-culture sound is right up your alley.
