M83 by Ella Herme
A general sale of tickets for the M83 tour will start on May 25th.
M83 has announced a run of west coast US tour dates for October.
Anthony Gonzalez aka is to visit Washington, Oregon, Las Vegas and various stops in California that month, while an appearance at Austin City Limits is also booked for the 15th.
It’ll support this year’s Fantasy album – on which there’s, ‘no map for where he’s going next’, according to Live4ever’s review:
“When this cloud-like sketching works the results are frustratingly great. Buried perhaps, there is still the sense that there is a classic album trying to emerge here.”
“Some of the fog which prevents that from happening comes via the closer Dismemberment Bureau, although its chilly analog weirdness will remind Boards Of Canada fans what they’re missing.”
In the thrills column however are ‘Radar, Far, Gone’ and Laura – each sumptuous ballads – whilst Sunny Boy, after a tepid introduction, reboots itself into anthemic chillwave, but it’s the title-track that manages to be both succinct and melodic enough to drag any unwilling punters with it.
