Old fans will note a substantial difference between this 2008 album and M83's previous releases; Saturdays = Youth is more shoegazey in texture and more pop in construction.
The idea of youth- wasted, glided, or otherwise- has always featured prominently in M83's music....That time of discovery-and of course the era in which Gonzalez was a teenager- greatly impacted the making of Saturdays=Youth.
