iTunes Review
The cover photo of Saturdays = Youth is, strangely, a vignette borne of the early ‘70s. But the pork pie hat and hair-do boys betray the music inside: the fifth outing from M83 is clearly an expression of love for ‘80s pop, full of romantic, earnest vocals and hooky, sparkling synth riffs and dance rhythms. It’s as if the ‘80s are simply in M83 whiz Anthony Gonzalez's blood, his veins pumping with the stuff that made Simple Minds or the Cocteau Twins so great. The near-perfect pop single “Kim and Jessie” could have been the star tune on a John Hughes film soundtrack, its wistful synth notes and longing vocals breaking hearts across the land. “Skin of the Night,” “Up,” and “We Own the Sky” are gorgeous nods to Kate Bush and the Cocteaus, with vocalist Morgan Kibby giving both Bush and Elizabeth Fraser a run for their money. While there are plenty more pop baubles to love (especially the propulsive “Graveyard Girl”), textural delights like the icy-cool “Couleurs” with its detached, distracted dance beats, the shoegazy ”Dark Moves of Love,” and the stark atmospherics of “You Appearing” keep it all from feeling too nostalgic. Gonzalez keeps changing his skin, to our utter delight.
Customer Reviews
I dream of a sister like Molly Ringwald
These songs make me want to drive with the windows down and make out with someone in a cemetary.
SEXY/80's/DARK/PLAYFUL/impossible to ignore
The brilliant Anthony Gonzales has finally found the perfect sonic medium for his many talents.
Gonzales can make frightening and exhilarating songs that hijack your mind ("Teen Angst", "Don't Save Us From the Flames"), he can create vast and subtly sexy music (Dead Cities), or he can lull you in to a sedative, hypnotic trance in vast ambient wonder lands of his own creation (as he did on "Digital Shades")
Here we see the full spectrum of Gonzales' talent-- served all-at-once a manner that is so flawlessly integrated, that M83 fans should rightfully drool with excitement. This album will exhilarate you-- make you roll the windows down as you blaze into the night horizon, and yet you'll feel strangely haunted, like conjuring up memories of an old lover in the midst of a blissful moment. Like a David Lynch movie, somehow "Saturdays=Youth" makes you feel like you're happily devouring a rush of 80's archetypes in a serving that is sexy, demonic, intriguing, playful, unexpectedly uplifting, and always impossible to turn away from.
"Kim and Jessie" shines as an especially stunning track, and "Skin of the Night" would make a wonderful song for the end credits if the book "Norwegian Wood" is ever adapted to film.
Optimistic 80s Opus
Huge fan of M83 and yet this CD certainly diverges from his previous albums. You'll still hear the Eno-esque sounds and shoe gaze style one has become accustom to but Saturdays=Youth is a bittersweet ode to the 80s, one in which for many like myself have fond memories of happiness and youth and this CD certainly evokes those moments with ethereal color. I certainly recommend.
