Review

Alternative Press (p.137) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he music is still as narcotic and gorgeous as ever....The integration of female vocalist Morgan Kibby brings M83 a new soaring soul..."
Paste (magazine) (p.59) - "With guitars gliding across translucent synth lines, the songs are big statements rendered in cold neon."

Title Note

M83: Anthony Gonzalez (vocals, guitars, piano, keyboards, bass guitar); Morgan Kibby (vocals, piano, keyboards); Loic Maurin (guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, drums, percussion).

Personnel: Ewen Pearson (keyboards).

Recording information: Rockfield Studios, Whales, England.

On SATURDAYS = YOUTH, the 2008 follow-up to the ambient-leaning DIGITAL SHADES VOL. 1, M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez wanders with his synth-pop muse into a dreamy, expansive realm populated by characters from John Hughes films. (See the cover art for evidence.) Though many 21st-century acts incorporate a 1980s influence with some level of winking irony, Gonzalez takes inspiration from that keyboard-loving decade and uses it with utter sincerity, as best exemplified by "Kim & Jessie," a soaring romantic anthem that nods to peak-era Tears for Fears and Simple Minds.

At times gleefully melodramatic (see the oddly sunny goth number "Graveyard Girl"), YOUTH fully embraces Gonzalez's dense, maximalist aesthetic, a sound that he showcases best on the pulsing "Couleurs," a heavily layered synthesizer workout, and "We Own the Sky," a majestic track that steadily moves towards the heavens via keyboard propulsion. Clearly M83's most focused and pop-savvy outing, YOUTH should appeal to Gonzalez's faithful fans, while also drawing new listeners into his mesmerizing aural landscapes.
