M83 - Saturdays=Youth

Anyone into new M83 release. Again some great electronica. My picks would be "Kim And Jessie", "Up" and the second single release "Graveyard Girl".

I'm listening to the preview track "Up", which sounds pretty good. Is this typical of the whole album?

Very eager to hear this, especially in regard to what evolution they could possibly make - always my big worry about electro-type acts. I still don't think I can cite a great 3rd or 4th album by any of them. I'm including Dead Cities and Before the Dawn as albums but excluding their sorta atmospheric experiment and comp, Digital Shades and 'M83'.

Not a typical song from the album but I really enjoy listening to it. There is one more song in the same style but not as nice as "Up". For me the typical songs are "Kim and Jessie" and "Graveyard Girl"

A blurb on Tripwire including video link:

http://thetripwire.com/reviews/2008/5/1 ... days-youth

"At times Saturdays = Youth is reminiscent of alternative music from the '80s and '90s in the vein of New Order or Cocteau Twins. In part that could be due to the fact that M83 recorded with Ken Thomas (Sugar Cubes, Cocteau Twins, Suede), but interestingly enough, it also references the album title. The songs from bands like New Order and Cocteau Twins not only are from the youth of Anthony, but from most of his listeners as well. This can be heard throughout several songs such as the upbeat "Kim & Jesse," the drumbeat and vocals of "Skin of the Night" and the shoegazing single "Graveyard Girl." "
