    Was a bit disappointed on the first listen as it wasn't as immediate as Saturdays = Youth. After a few listens however the album just sounds better and better, probably one of my favourite albums of the year so far. The first 3 songs are fabulous.

    It's actually pretty short for a "double album". I thought it would be much longer but it's only about 9 or 10 minutes longer than Saturdays = Youth and Before The Dawn Heals Us.

    Excellent album. Wait is stunning track.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 865 ✭✭✭A Disgrace


    A consistently great band, although I wasn't that sold on 'Saturdays=Youth', Couleurs aside... this however is amazing, and after a second and third listen, indispensable

    fantastic recommendation - thanks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,113 ✭✭✭SilverScreen


    F**k me this sounds awesome after a good few listens. This could end up being my favourite album of the year so far. There's still a couple of tracks that sound like filler, but with songs like 'Reunion', the wonderfully creative 'Raconte-Moi Une Histoire', 'OK Pal' and 'Steve McQueen' this album is head and shoulders above most albums released this year.

    It's still too early yet to compare it to their previous albums but time will tell.

    Bit long though isn't it?
    That is my only issue with M83 their albums are usually too long, I think they're great but they could always lose 2-3 songs per album to make the classic they have the potential to


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭conti


    Defo one of the year's best releases and I haven't even got to the second disc yet. I'm very disappointed that there's no Irish date on the tour, can't understand why.

    Still not released in the US. Not until Oct 18th...

    dammit...

    :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,113 ✭✭✭SilverScreen


    Sure it still hasn't been released here yet either ;)

    I will get the album on CD though when it's officially released. It's definitely one of the best albums of the year so far.

    This is my favourite album of the year. Must have listened to it at least in dozen times in 3 days.
    Also, first time I listened to it, I put it straight back on again, and then again after that. Haven't done that in years.

    Bought this yesterday and stuck it on in the car coming home from work - wasn't that impressed at all, was wondering what all the hype was over, sounded ok but nothing special. Stuck it on again last night and started to enjoy it more - this morning again and I fcking love it! 'Wait' is a real standout track for me, brilliant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭sink


    Listening to this record for the first time now, only half-way trough and I love it. Really really great, probably going to be one of my favourite albums of the year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭Captain Graphite


    It's definitely a grower, think "Reunion" is my favourite on it. It is a bit too long though; reckon a few filler tracks could have been cut. Still, really happy with it overall. Now here's hoping they play Ireland soon. :)

    Woah, completely missed that they've a new album out. This has been a good week for my MP3 player. They're playing in the UK, don't see why they can't pop over here for a gig...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Technocentral


    Love M83 but I think he should have made it a single album, too many similar sounding instrumentals, standout track:



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,382 Mod ✭✭✭✭lordgoat


    Really enoying it, picked up the last copy in Elastic Witch on Friday, sounds great in an empty house on a good volume!


    I love Zola Jesus.

    Saw them last week and as good as Intro was it just wasn't the same without her. :(

    Do they have someone singing her parts?

    I'm quite amazed by her in general, really hoping someone will bring her over here next year.

    Yeah, Morgan Kibby sung her parts. It would have been a completely different show had she not been there. Skin of the Night was phenomenal.

    Has Zola Jesus only played Electric Picnic in Ireland? She's played London 5 times in the past 18 months including 2 club dates and her album release party. Strange she hasn't made it across to Ireland again.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,383 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    Have M83 announced a Spring Dublin date? They had already lined up a London date before playing here last week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Shane St.


    splendor what a song

    Picked it up after hearing all the good words on here and I am impressed.

    It's unfortunately not particularly full-listen commute friendly though :(

    Typical Pitchfork vibes,very over-rated.

    They seem to be completely ignoring playing a date in Ireland by the looks of things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 DDDDDeannnnn


    Cahnged my mind,didn't quite get it at the start.Can't stop playing it now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 47 orl677

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,499 ✭✭✭skinny90


    just after listening(abit late i know).....
    my god what an album claudia lewis is serious


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭sink


    They're headlining Body & Soul this year Saturday, June 23rd, Ballinlough Castle, Meath. They would be the main draw for me but there only seem to be full weekend (€99) & Sunday only (€55) tickets, no Saturday only tickets. Not a big fan of camping so would preferably go just for the Saturday and get a bus/drive back to Dublin that night. Really want to see them but not sure if I want to see them that badly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 482 ✭✭Jim_Kiy


    They should be in the national concert hall not a field in Meath,,But I guess everyone has to make a buck.. Its an interesting if little known line up ..Likely they know many people will pay the e99 for a sat only ticket...its proved beyond doubt by the electric picnic success.

    From website:
    M83

    Conor O’Brien’s Villagers perform at Ballinlough. The Ivor Novello-winning artist will bring his beautifully fragile folk songs to the woodland venue, while on a different tip M83 aka French producer Anthony Gonzales will perform the infectious saxophone-tinged electro of songs like ‘Midnight City’.

    Anne Erin Clark’s St Vincent project has become a byword for left of centre pop and will bring the quirky sound of her ‘Strange Mercy’ album to Ballinlough, as well as new songs like ‘Krokodil’ and ‘Grot’.



    Little Dragon follow in a long line of electronic bands from Sweden – The Field performed at last year’s Body & Soul - and the foursome’s melodic songs are the ideal soundtrack to Ballinlough’s sun-kissed fields.


    On a more uptempo note are Shangaan Electro, whose bizarre but brilliant mixture of African folk and high-paced electro found a home on Damon Albarn’s Honest Jon’s label – where they were remixed by underground luminaries like Shake, Actress and Demdike Stare – while Gold Panda provides a more introspective sound with his deep, electronic grooves.

    Barcelona’s John Talabot, who has just released his blissed out house debut album ‘Fin’, is one of the dance highlights, while Redinho from Glasgow’s on-point Nmbrs label will kick out the electro-funk jams.

    London label Ninja Tune has two acts performing. Representing the new school is Emika, the Berlin-based sonic experimentalist who has worked with Berghain’s Marcel Dettmnn and last year put out her debut, self-titled label on Ninja.

    The Herbaliser represents the Nina old guard and expect Jake Wherry and Ollie Trattles to drop an entertaining blend of breaks and beats.

    Meanwhile, Meteor Music-nominated Irish act Tieranniesaur will be bringing their catchy punk funk to Ballinlough and Dublin producer Kormac will be at the controls to direct festival favourite Kormac's Big Band, an 11-piece orchestra featuring drums, double bass, barbershop quartet, trumpet, clarinet and banjo – as well as decks and samplers - that perform his tunes live.
