    This has to be one of my favorite albums of all time. I can actually listen to all the songs without skipping to the next one. I was introduced to this album and M83 with the song "We Own The Sky"... more
    
    This has to be one of my favorite albums of all time. I can actually listen to all the songs without skipping to the next one. I was introduced to this album and M83 with the song "We Own The Sky" and was instantly hooked.

    Dreamy, shoegazey, dramatic, layered electronic soundscapes.

    An emotional and totally unique album, with some of my favorite songs, including "Kim and Jessie", "Highway of Endless Dreams", and one of my favorite songs ever, "Up". The music is beautiful, self-aware, and endlessly listenable. This album speaks for itself.

Description

For their fifth album, Saturdays = Youth, France's M83 conjures up the 1980s in all their candy-colored glory. Even the cover portrait, showcasing models in rolled-sleeve blazers, peg-leg pants, and pastel prom dresses, evokes John Hughes' high-school classics Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club. In the liner notes, singer/multi-instrumentalist Anthony Gonzalez thanks the individuals who "made my teenager years so great!" and in "Graveyard Girl," he name-checks Molly Ringwald (he also takes a page from the Air playbook with allusions to stars, rockets, and other notebook-doodle favorites). There's a difference, however, between poaching from the past and recreating it. Despite the abundance of pretty-boy (and girl) vocals, oceanic keyboards, and big electronic beats--recalling '80s icons from Simple Minds to Kate Bush--Saturdays feels more like an affectionate tribute than a cynical carbon copy. Like the couple at the heart of "Kim and Jessie," Gonzalez is "crazy about romance and illusions," but all is not sweetness and light as a few numbers betray a Tim Burton-style Goth influence, which helps to alleviate any potential sugar shock. Saturdays = Youth is a precious gift from a secret admirer, wrapped in ambience and sealed with a blood-red kiss. --Kathleen C. Fennessy.
