Steve"If I could make an album with this sound as the production focal point I would in a heartbeat. It is my exact style. These Big drum sounds and this grand electronic production with strong bass and analog instrumentation was well. Big is just the best way to describe the things I really like about the album.
The Wickedly Talented Pat Grimes was the one who showed me Midnight City first in college but it took me a bit to want to explore the rest of the album.
For me, the album feels very Peter Gabriel esq especially some of the vocals and their delivery. Lyrics not so much, but it’s Melodie’s and instrumentation and just daring to explore within your themes. The lyrics probably might be the weakest part of this record as what Steve said, it really breaks everything down to being very simple and idealistic. We know that we can have moments of this in life, but we know it cannot be all the time. So just take what you can get. This trying to recapture the innocence of our youth, which for me speaks a lot. There was something I reflect on with me discovering that I was gay that I feel projected me out of innocence to experience. I had to deal with this dread and fear and not really celebrate that part of myself that I feel many people (the straights) just don’t have to deal with as much. It’s different. So when I heard this full record when I was 23, it really resonated with me as I still was young. Now 10 years later, I am at peace with that and my dread and fear is placed elsewhere." - Zach

My top 50 Albums of all time.
GwydianNostalgia. Everybody knows the feeling and its easy to get caught in it, swept away down the river. It feels as if M83 took exact instructions from this river of nostalgia on how to make an album. I haven't known this album for long enough to have nostalgia for it but yet it's still there. Beautiful arrangements of unusual sounds; it pairs perfectly with a long drive while the sun lowers over the coast. It makes sense that it was made in 2011 but not for any bad reasons, only the right reasons. <3
