The delicate smallness of M83 is where the wonder and romance truly shine; those fantastic traits were only drowned out in the other, more massive productions.

M83 ultimately serves as a decent introduction and a curiosity that would best be absorbed by his hardcore acolytes.

Today marks my 2 year anniversary on the album of the year site. 2 full years of incredible music, incredible finds, and meeting some of the coolest people I have ever met in a community I’ve been a part of (shout out all of my beautiful followers of my, I love and appreciate all of you for joining this crazy ride of mine :DDD).

I seem to be the only person, ever, to consider themselves an m83 superfan. For six years i've been living in online music forums, writing reviews no one will read, exploring every crevice of the internet's musical offerings, and there's one thing I can confidently say, no one really likes this band. Ive just never seen it. Not me, though. I get this album spiritually. Imagine an AI supercomputer searching through a vast database of recorded dialogues from movies, shows, news ... read more
