In 2003, Frenchmen Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau enjoyed
international acclaim for the album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, a
luscious blend of shoegaze aesthetics, ambient pop, and progressive
textures. But M83 had been releasing material for several years, having
issued their self-titled debut through the tiny but taste-making French
label Gooom in 2001. The success of Dead Cities, Red Seas brought
attention not only to M83, but also to the Gooom label, which helped fuel
the popularity of other glitchy, sleek, and vaguely psychedelic artists
like Cyann & Ben. Fromageau departed the lineup after the second album,
looking to pursue solo work instead, and Gonzalez returned to the studio
for a follow-up record. When Before the Dawn Heals Us appeared in January
2005, the addition of vocals and more consistent rhythms made it M83's
most cohesive album yet. After finishing the subsequent tour, Gonzalez
recorded Digital Shades, Vol. 1, a set of ambient songs inspired by Brian
Eno and Krautrock that arrived in 2007. Gonzalez then worked with
producers Ewan Pearson and Ken Thomas on the critically acclaimed
Saturdays=Youth, which was released in April 2008. After extended touring
in support of that album, Gonzales collaborated with producer Justin
Meldal-Johnsen, Medicine's Brad Laner, longtime vocalist Morgan Kibby, and
Zola Jesus on the sprawling double-disc set Hurry Up, We're Dreaming,
which arrived in October 2011.
