Alright guys, so I’ll upfront and say there are no samples here because I am broke and I bought this album on iTunes and need some CDs to strip the protection to post as mp3’s.
HOWEVER.
My recommendation, if you’re going to buy 1 new album this week, is to purchase French shoegaze band M83’s new one Saturdays=Youth, which is out today, and then go to your nearest hipster bar and pick up a member of your preferred gender and take him or her home to have a listen. He or she will be putty in your hands!
Saturdays=Youth is a lovely dreampop effort with a lot of 80s influence, gorgeous harmonies, and is just generally one of those albums that makes you feel like you’re in some sort of lovely, sun-saturated movie taking place on the French Riviera. Supercool, super laid back, and absolutely gorgeous. Exactly what you want someone to think of you, right?
The current single is “Graveyard Girl,” which features this very strange goth-poem interlude, but that can be ignored since the rest of the song is just perfection. “Dark Moves of Love” is retro-synth at its best, and, like their countrymen Air, M83 don’t skimp on the reverb or on the harmonies, which all combine for an album I’d highly recommend the next time you want to smooch with a dreamy indie boy or girl. It’s an album made for kissing. The second half dissolves a bit into noise and ambient music, and “Midnight Souls Still Remain” is 11 and a half minutes of sound with little actual songwriting going on, but by then you’ll be having hot hot makeouts, so it won’t matter.
So I don’t have any samples, but I just told you how to smooch with dreamy indie boys or girls; I think I’ve done my duty this Tuesday.
