{"title":"M83","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout M83\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eM83 formed in Antibes, France in 2001 as a duo of Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau. Fromageau departed in 2004, with the project continuing as Gonzalez's solo vehicle. The project is named after the spiral galaxy Messier 83 in the constellation Hydra. Their work has progressively explored ambient, shoegaze, electronic, dream pop, and synth-pop traditions across multiple decades. Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (2011), a double album with the single Midnight City, was widely cited as one of the most important electronic albums of the 2010s. M83 has also extensively composed film scores including Oblivion (2013) and You and the Night (2013).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eM83's sound combines electronic, shoegaze, dream pop, synth-pop, ambient, electronic rock, and post-rock with extensive analog synthesizer arrangements, atmospheric production, vocoder effects, and arrangements drawing on classic 1980s synth-pop, shoegaze, and contemporary electronic music traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM83 (2001, Gooom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead Cities, Red Seas \u0026amp; Lost Ghosts (2003, Gooom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore the Dawn Heals Us (2005, Mute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital Shades Vol. 1 (2007, Mute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturdays = Youth (2008, Mute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHurry Up, We're Dreaming (2011, Mute) - double album\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJunk (2016, Mute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOblivion original soundtrack (2013, Back Lot) - with Joseph Trapanese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSVII (2019, Mute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFantasy (2023, Mute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMute Records pressings of the M83 catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to M83 typically start with Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (2011) or Saturdays = Youth (2008). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/electronic-vinyl-records\"\u003eElectronic\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/alt-indie-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003eAlt\/Indie Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"m83-dead-cities-red-seas-lost-ghosts-vinyl-180g","title":"Dead Cities Red Seas \u0026 Lost Ghosts 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eSecond album from M83 pressed to 180g 2LP - widescreen shoegaze electronics, drifting synths and melancholic hooks.
