Posted June 28, 201114 yr mU6TB8jet-Q Zola Jesus features on the record too. I am very much excited, are you? Edited October 24, 201113 yr by Phaedrus Ráðúlfr
June 28, 201114 yr ABSOLUTE EXCITE. The first twenty seconds of 'We Own the Sky' are still breathtaking.
June 28, 201114 yr About bloody time! It feels like FAR too long since the nigh on perfect Saturdays = Youth was released, if it can match even a fraction of that album's greatness then it will be superb.

June 28, 201114 yr Haha! :D I do have such high expectations for this though, Saturdays = Youth was loved my be at the time and it has actually managed to grow in my affections further over time. Definite contender for album of the last decade for me.
June 28, 201114 yr Author I must say they were absolutely sublime when I saw them live. They played at a beautiful old church in London and we all sat in the pews as lights swirled around the ceiling. The acoustics were phenomenal and the whole experience was unlike anything I've ever experienced. My friend somehow managed to fall asleep. Quite how one does that at a gig I do not know. LET ALONE AN M83 GIG. Special times.
June 28, 201114 yr That sounds wondrous... I am completely and utterly jealous. I can just imagine their sound working it's way around an old church, spellbinding I'm sure.
June 28, 201114 yr Saturdays=Youth was my favourite album of 2008, so I await this album in anticipation. I went to see them when the came here in 2008, their sound works surprisingly well in a live setting.
July 3, 201114 yr About bloody time! It feels like FAR too long since the nigh on perfect Saturdays = Youth was released, if it can match even a fraction of that album's greatness then it will be superb. Indeed. "Saturdays = Youth" is one of the best albums of 2008.
July 19, 201114 yr http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/m83452.jpg On October 18, Mute will release Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, the new double album from electronic haze-pop artist Anthony Gonzalez, known to everyone as M83. Gonzalez has been talking about this album, the follow-up to 2008's Saturdays=Youth for quite a while. Last year, he told Pitchfork, "For now, the direction of the album is very, very, very epic. Very orchestrated. I feel like it's a mix of all my albums, actually." And last month, we learned that the LP would feature contributions from Zola Jesus, Medicine's Brad Laner, Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails), and Saturdays=Youth collaborator Morgan Kibby. Talking about the album in a press release, Gonzalez cites the Smashing Pumpkins' super-grandiose 1995 double album Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness as a key influence: "I saw when I was a teenager that I could dig into [the album]. It was like a treasure. If I were a teenager nowadays, I would try to find something as creative as this album. They had so much to say in their songs.” (Via Pitchfork) CD01 01 Intro (Featuring.

July 19, 201114 yr Cannot WAIT. I recently got into Saturdays = Youth big time so this is possibly up there with No Doubt for me in the anticipation stakes :wub:
July 19, 201114 yr I hate double albums. I wish more artists would go down the Robyn/Body Talk route if they have too much material.
July 21, 201113 yr Is it too early to declare 'Midnight City' my favourite song of the year? It's rather fine.
July 21, 201113 yr I think it is too early yes... I mean, there's the rest of the album to hear first. :D
July 22, 201113 yr It reminds me of The Verve's Love Is Noise. I still like it though, it's just not quite as good as We Own The Sky.
