Antibes, Nice, France (2001 – present)
M83 (named after the spiral galaxy “Messier 83”) is electronic artist Anthony Gonzalez. Gonzalez and former member Nicolas Fromageau founded the group in 2001 in Antibes, France. M83’s style owes a lot to the shoegaze genre, in that there is much emphasis on tonality, extensive use of reverb effects and often softly-spoken lyrics at times submerged in instrumentation.
All five of M83’s albums have been well received - in particular their second album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, which allowed them to break through to a larger audience. For the third album released by M83, Before The Dawn Heals Us, Gonzalez decided to part from Fromageau (after an emotionally distressing tour for Dead Cities) and record on his own.
M83’s song “
Unrecorded” from Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts was used in the trailer for the American release of the Russian movie Night Watch, and the track “Teen Angst”, taken from “Before The Dawn Heals Us”, appeared on the trailer for the film adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s novel “A Scanner, Darkly”, which was released in 2006.
M83 produced the remix of the track ‘Pioneers’ on the British rock group Bloc Party’s 2005 album Silent Alarm Remixed.
The Deftones also use the song “Be wild” (taken from Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts) on their 2007 world tour as intro music. Snow Patrol also used “Teen Angst”, taken from “Before The Dawn Heals Us” as their 2006 tour opener.

Saturdays is incredibly disappointing compared to Lost Ghosts and Before the Dawn Heals Us. I remember when Last.fm said M83 has around 80,000 listeners...

Why doesn't anyone talk about the self titled album? That album is amazing and they are STILL playing songs from it and it was made 8 years ago. Enough with how much you hate Saturdays=Youth just because it's a little more mainstream then your hipster indie needs... I agree that Dead Cities and Dawn are so much better, but either way you look at it... Anthony Gonzalez is a musical genius.
