M83, aka Anthony Gonzalez, announces the highly anticipated details of his forthcoming full-length album, JUNK Following the critically acclaimed silver album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, featuring Grammy nominated single "Midnight City," and two triumphant years of world touring, Gonzalez - who serves as M83's musical architect, songwriter, front man and primary vocalist - returns with an artistic evolution, explaining, "I want to show different sides of me on this album. I want to come back with something more intimate, yet somehow with…less me!"
Feeling a renewed kinship with Gonzalez's early musical inspirations like Tangerine Dream, Aphex Twin, and genre-expanding visionaries like Brian Wilson and Kevin Shields, Gonzalez both returns to his roots with this album, yet makes a logical leap forward. And while M83 albums has always combined genres in a nostalgic and provocative way – from shoegaze and ambient to synth-pop and '90s alt-rock – for JUNK, Gonzalez experiments adventurously with sounds and styles he's never previously attempted in his music. "All my albums have layers of eclecticism to them, but with this album I wanted to take that even further," he says.
