Description
Saturdays = Youth is the fifth studio album by M83, first released in 2008. Itâ€™s produced by Ken Thomas, known for his work with Sigur RÃ³s, Cocteau Twins and Suede. Adolescence is the defining theme of this enchanting new album, his most explicit celebration yet of how it feels to be dazed, confused and 15 years old. The record marks a change in a friendlier, pop-shaped direction for M83. After touring Before The Dawn Heals Us for much of 2005, Gonzalez decided to give the noisy rock side of things a rest. Pitchfork Media ranked Saturdays = Youth at number eight on its list of The 50 Best Albums of 2008, and it was also named the best album of 2008 by Drowned in Sound.

Description
Double vinyl LP pressing, includes download. Old fans will note a substantial difference between this 2008 album and M83's previous releases; Saturdays = Youth is more shoegazey in texture and more pop in construction. While the galactic, deep space vibe is still there, the overall aesthetic is more Cocteau Twins a la My Bloody Valentine rather than another addition to the towering electronic post-rock tradition that Mogwai and Sigur RÃ³s perfected. The record draws heavily from the likes of Tears For Fears and Cocteau Twins, as well as classic John Hughes teen movies. Recorded with and produced by Ken Thomas, known for his work with Sigur RÃ³s, Cocteau Twins, Sugar Cubes and Suede; and Ewan Pearson (The Rapture, Ladytron).

Adolescence is the defining theme of this enchanting album, his most explicit celebration yet of how it feels to be dazed, confused and 15 years old.
