M83 | Black Vinyl LP | Before the Dawn Heals Us | Mute

Description:

After their breakthrough album, 'Dead Cities', 'Red Seas and Lost ghosts', Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau, the collaborators in M83, parted ways. For the follow-up, 'Before the Dawn Heals Us', Gonzalez is at the helm, taking the swirling, evocative synth-scapes of the previous outing in tighter, more focused directions. Analogue synthesizers still dominate the music, recalling early Tangerine Dream, and there is no shortage of the dramatic flourishes and cinematic sensibility that characterised 'Dead Cities' (just listen to 'Moon Child,' the album's leadoff track). However, Gonzalez's song structures and increased use of vocals signal something new. There are moments of drifting bliss, of course, on the Brian Eno-esque 'I Guess I'm Floating,' and 'Farewell / Goodbye,' a breathy electronic ballad with vocals from Lisa Papineau. Yet the shoegazer-meets-New Wave track 'Don't Save Us from the Flames' could be an indie-pop single, with its sinuous verses and crashing, wall-of-sound choruses, and 'Teen Angst' is an blast of up-tempo euphoria. Gonzalez still takes plenty of moody turns, particularly on the piano-led 'Safe,' which could fit on Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', and 'Car Chase Terror,' a tension-filled soundtrack for an imaginary film.
