With their ethereal synths and swirling guitars, M83 echo the shoegaze of My Bloody Valentine, the synth-pop of Kraftwerk, the krautrock of Tangerine Dream and the New Wave of Tears for Fears all at once. Thanks to idiosyncratic mastermind Anthony Gonzales, M83 blur the lines between haunting electronic soundscapes and soaring indie rock anthems and this collection traces the roots of his glorious noise.
