kjkenney Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Finally listened to this in full today, my gf bought me a copy for our anniversary a couple days ago and I absolutely love it. I love that they are a band that can keep me on my toes so much. Great array of pop and down tempo songs to keep it interesting. I had the same WTF reaction when Digital Shades followed Before the Dawn Heals Us, but again, always keeping me guessing what's next. Really shows how versatile of a musician he is. The piano playing on this album is great too, simple but effective. Lots of replay value here for me.

ptothedo Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 They were on Kimmel last night. Teen Wolf for the win. Just giving this a proper listen now. Go! should be a hit, loving it. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 So after seeing them live the other night, I have to say that these new songs translate really well live. Am I ok that they replace the likes of Graveyard Girl and others in their set? ...ehhh. BUT, in their own right, the new songs are catchy, energetic and a lot of fun. Also, the new Morgan is actually really, really great. She nailed Oblivion. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJoe Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Sigh. Although I'm somewhat enjoying this album I must say that live performance is underwhelming for m83. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abovetheearth Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nostalgia is different for everybody. yep. being in my prime in the 80's, this is totally a vibe of that for me. "for the kids" could have totally been the end credit song for literally any movie back then. 'Moon crystal' could have been any opening song to any show too. the riding the bike in the park, dropping the casserole, looking at the camera and laughing. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvham Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I saw M83 last weekend in Oakland and while it didn't blow me away like the Fillmore show four years ago it was still pretty damn entertaining. And I agree that the new songs work much better live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I kept waiting for some sicknasty guitar to just explode out of that remix and I never got it. I'm disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvismcvegas Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 What a shitty lame remix. Deakin: "Hey lets make this song boring and lame," Other animal collectives: "OK, also hey remember when we used to be good?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkenney Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I love this album. Maybe he'll make another before the dawn heals us or something so everyone can be his fan again. Or whatever album people are holding onto. patreeeek, rabbitclock and natenomm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHughes527 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Not that it seems like anyone cares, but I still have yet to see that Go! 12” manifest anywhere. Anyone else? Also, new HUWD limited edition color vinyl reissue announced. Made a new thread for it. lethalenforcer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched their Sasquatch festival set from earlier this year on YouTube way too many times. I'm seeing them in Atlanta on Monday.

patreeeek Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 PO link for the Go! 12" via Bull Moose: http://www.bullmoose.com/p/24373081/m83-go-clear-blue-vinyl “Go!,” the latest single from symphonic-indie-electronic-dream pop powerhouse, M83, seems at first like a characteristically “epic” M83 song. Taken from 2016’s Junk, it opens with breathy vocals from French singer Mai Lan and lyrics that suggests romantic situations that teenagers always seem to find themselves in. Then, out of nowehere, Steve Vai bursts through to play a guitar solo made of glowsticks. Wait, Steve Vai? The legendary virtuoso guitar hero who defined an era? Correct. The mood of the song flips entirely, as his solo becomes the colorfully explosive conclusion at the end of a perfunctory night of fireworks. It feels complete; it feels epic. “Go!“ is available as a limited edition blue 12” vinyl on December 16, 2016 via Mute, alongside the original single, a tender unreleased ballad called “Altered Love,” the recently released cosmic dub remix of the title track by Animal Collective’s Deakin, and an unreleased 8-bit version of “Go!”.
