saturdays look youth to me- john
I have always liked M83. It is great background relaxing music perfect for waking up or falling asleep. I saw him at ACL fest a few years back and it was very disappointing because it was at 4pm on a 100 degree day and M83 needs to be experienced with a pair of quality headphones alone and not with a bunch of sweaty Pat Green fans. Nonetheless- I still like the albums and perhaps even have a new favorite with the newest and 5th release Saturdays= Youth. Full of filmic and musical nostalgia for the 80s the album is mellow, lush and concentrated with a droney electronic love for the films of John Hughes… but you know…hopped up on Ambien. The album is out now on Mute Records – preview it below!

Lol, i had the same experience, I was so excited to see M83 and all I could think during their whole set was "this must be what it's like to be an African refugee." It was hot and I was covered in dust and didn't have any water and there was no shade and those poor frenchmen looked miserable. That show should have been booked at sunset.
