There’s been a whole lot of action coming out of the M83 camp lately. After recently announcing an international band member search, the one-man-band led by Anthony Gonzalez now has a new album, a new single, and an Aussie tour to celebrate.
Junk is out 8th April via Inertia and fans can check out the album’s first single, ‘Do It, Try It’ below. The album is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, which featured the ubiquitous single ‘Midnight City’.
Whilst previous M83 albums have been noted for Gonzalez’s knack for combining shoegaze and synth-pop elements into a hazy, nostalgic concoction, Junk sees the songwriter and producer experimenting with bold new sounds and styles never before attempted.
Meanwhile, his Australian tour is set to kick off this May. Joining him will be local upstart Japanese Wallpaper, who’s gone from strength to strength since releasing his debut single, ‘Breathe In’, a collaboration with fellow Aussie Wafia.
