There ya go M83 fans.

 

[BronsonLee]

AND A NEW ALBUM

 

[Tugatrix]

Sound different, more daft punkish. I hope the album is more closer to Hurry up we are dreaming

 

[googly]

I don't know about that

 

[Secret Character]

This is pretty great, actually. Not as immediately powerful as some of his stuff from "Hurry up..." but it's solid songwriting.

 

[droggg]

That's an M83 song? This is a sad day :[

 

[gamz]

Not digging it.

 

[Pacbois]

yikes... not liking this at all

I really love earlier M83, especially Before The Dawn Heals Us for it's noisey atmosphere, or the nostalgic dream pop on Saturdays=Youth. I was a bit down on Hurry Up, We're Dreaming because it ended up being too pompous/ambitious for it's own sake. But that new song feels like almost lazy, edm remix friendly, almost cookie cutter synth-pop. I'm not surprised tho considering the massive pop they had after Midnight City.

 

[DeBurgo]

This is terrible.

 

[neshcom]

Man, that ragtime-sounding piano beginning is off-putting.

 

[bounchfx]

what the fuck is this

edit: I love/d m83. The previous album was good, but I only really cared for maybe 7 of the songs, I LOVED saturdays=youth, and the previous albums as well. But this? feels like a different, generic band.

Wow this is pretty much word for word exactly how I feel about M83, Before The Dawn Heals Us is one of my favorite albums ever. Really bummed to see M83 go in this direction.

 

[Revolver]

Dafuq? Not feeling this one at all.

 

[Sobriquet]

I like the space dog I guess.

 

[Pacbois]

Also for fans of early M83, you should check out Team Ghost, which is fronted by M83 co-founder who left the band post Dead Cities.

 

[Soma]

Weird song.

even weirder album cover

 

[mYm|17|]

yea.......ummmm, not feeling this song at all

 

[Shard]

I did not care for this song.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Uhhhh, its okay, but not great.

 

[Asturie]

It's an okay song. Not really what I listen to M83 for though.

 

[Macadinho94]

Unfortunately it's more the exception than the norm that a band makes decent music upon their comeback :/

 

[Human_me]

ehhhhh, I'm going to forget they did this.

 

[MrCunningham]

I did it, tried it and didn't care for it.

 

[-shadow-]

Not really digging it. They also had the worst collaboration with Jarre on Electronica. Weird because most of their older tracks are really great. Oh well...

 

[LaneDS]

Reminded me of Hot Chip.


Not Midnight City, but fun song nonetheless.

 

[Placktor]

Disappointing... I guess ill hope for the best with the new album, but it isnt looking good.

 

[Psychoward]

The album is named Junk? How fitting.

 

[Vanillalite]

The backlash reminds me of when MGMT released Congratulations and people were like this doesn't sound like Oracular Spectacular.

 

[Skellig Gra]

It's decent at best

 

[shaowebb]

YES! My God how many times have I listened to Steve McQueen and Midnight City at this point...? I've just spent many a night with them on loop and doing art. Sooooooo good.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Fuck the haters, it became instantly my favourite M83 song.

Amazing cover art too.

 

[SecretDan]

Really bad.

 

[Strictly]

Any Album recommendations that are similar or give off the same vibe as Hurry up Were Dreaming? Its an itch I've not been able to scratch since and I know nothing about this genre.

 

[squidyj]

there are good parts
and there are bad parts

On the whole it's not my favorite thing he's ever done and it's not really the direction I want to see.

 

[Apdiddy]

It doesn't really sound like M83 nor even good.

I keep hoping for another Saturdays = Youth that's awashed in '80s nostalgia, but it'll never happen.

 

[Burli]

I know everyone's hating this song but I'm weirdly into it after a couple of listens. I guess I'm not heavily invested in M83 as a band and can imagine this song would be a shock to those expecting their usual.

 

[John Kowalski]

time to listen to don't save us again i guess

 

[U2NUMB]

Big M83 fan and I am not feeling this at all :/

 

[corn_fest]

really enjoyed S=Y, HUWD, Digital Waves, and You & The Night...

this is hot garbage

 

[LegendOfGood]

How dare he experiment? How dare he?

 

[Lunar15]

Need to wash that song away? Time for everyone's favorite youtube video: "bill clinton plays m83 for only one hour, but the loop doesn't suck as badly as that other one"

 

[BlueTsunami]

Fuck the haters, it became instantly my favourite M83 song.

 

[Dan]

I don't mind the backing production, but the mess of vocals is very unappealing.

Ah well, I have so much new music* to buy in the next couple months, I can live with dropping this album.

*Including the new albums from: TOKiMONSTA, Fatima Al Qadiri, Tim Hecker, Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Jessy Lanza, Dave Harrington Group, Clark, Underworld.

 

[wetwired]

because I'm too lazy to look into it myself, I really enjoyed their Oblivion soundtrack but know nothing about them otherwise, what kind of music is their "normal" style?

 

[Couleurs]

Man, that ragtime-sounding piano beginning is off-putting.

Yeah I'm having a hard time getting into the song with that piano. Maybe it'll grow on me over time. I still have high hopes for the rest of the album, even though Morgan Kibby is apparently gone now

 

[LProtag]

I was okay with their move towards poppier stuff, even if I thought Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts was their best album, but I'm not digging it any more.

 

[jett]

I can't dig to this.

 

[gamz]

Saturday = Youth is greatness.

 

[Galang]

I'm not going to spoil the track until the album, but I've literally loved every M83 album so far... Dead Cities will likely always be my favourite, but I enjoyed Before the Dawn Heals Us, Saturdays = Youth & Hurry Up You're Dreaming as well. I doubt the streak can ever be broken for me. I honestly can't think of another artist where I've liked every album they've ever done

lol @ the dog
