As the press release for Saturdays = Youth goes out of it's way to cite Tears For Fears and Cocteau Twins as inspiration, France's M83 have, in a way, built their discography as the soundtracks to a series of never- made Michael Mann and Sophia Coppola films. Galactic and delicate like a semi-formal slow dance, Anthony Gonzales' romance with 80's cinema is apparent as ever with his John Hughes as hell clip for the album's second single, "Graveyard Girl", available @ P4K.Tv.
What M83 may lack in subtlety is more than made up for with their preciousness, and I don't say that as a bad thing. Through teenage anecdote, Gonzales and company bluntly illustrate that age only compounds adolescent wistfulness instead of erasing it, and that over time, our same desires seem all so much sadder.
M83's Saturdays = Youth is out tomorrow on Mute Records.
M83 "Graveyard Girl" (off Saturdays = Youth)
M83 "Kim and Jessie" (off Saturdays = Youth)
M83 "Teen Angst" (off Before the Dawn Heals Us)
M83 should have their own Vh1 list show.
