Dead Cities Red Seas & Lost Ghosts
From electronica to pop to ambient, M83's distinct sound emerged after just one album: both modern and melancholic. The group make machines seem human by endowing them with a mysterious and innocent character, one that mirrors the personality of the two band members, Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau. "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts" possesses a more assertive sound, going beyond the band's first album. Anthony and Nicolas have raised the bar - without foregoing their exceptional sense of melody or losing their ability to communicate sound in a fresh new way - generating complexity by alternating slow tracks and faster ones.
