M83 - M83

M83 was formed as a musical vehicle by French electronic/dream pop artist Anthony Gonzalez in 2001. Gonzalez has released six albums under the M83 moniker to date.

Recorded in 2000, M83's self-titled debut was issued by the French label Gooom in 2001 and reissued by Mute Records in 2005. M83 introduces the group as its original two-piece consisting of Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau, the latter of which left the group following the recording of second album, Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts in 2002.

Co-produced by Morgan Daguenet, the largely instrumental album is interspersed with film and television dialogue samples throughout and foreshadowing Gonzalez's subsequent soundtrack work, M83 also follows a conceptual narrative with the album's 14-tracks telling a short story when read sequentially.

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by Mute Records. Includes download card.
