What’s not to love about this collaboration? As M83, Anthony Gonzalez composes gorgeously cinematic music, and in the new track “Holes in the Sky” the picture is completed with vocals from Grammy-nominated L.A. outfit Haim . The song appears on the soundtrack to the action-adventure film “The Divergent Series: Insurgent,” which comes out next week […]

Morgan Kibby’s knack of weaving ethereal vocals and tingling electro-pop has always been a thread in her work with M83, but her voice is finally showcased on “In Cold Blood” (out now via Crush Music). On her first full-length under the solo moniker White Sea – she released a 2011 EP titled “This Frontier” and […]

The last time we heard from Morgan Kibby (when she wasn’t off singing and playing keys with Anthony Gonzalez) was back when she released the gorgeous “This Frontier” EP in 2011. Nuggets like the ethereal anthem “Mountaineer’ and dark R&B-laden jam “Ladykiller” showed Kibby’s strengths as a solo artist under the moniker White Sea, which […]

The gripping video for “Wait” is the third and final in the collaboration between directors Fleur and Manu and the band M83. The music on the band’s 2011 album “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming” was cinematic to begin with, and it’s fascinating to see where the French duo takes it. In the press release, they say: […]
Video: M83, ‘Steve McQueen’

I guess the lesson here is that there are a lot of talented video directors out there willing to work on spec. Like Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros did for their “Child” video, M83 invited fans to submit visuals for “Steve McQueen” via a competition run through Genero.tv. The video directed by Balthazar Auxietre […]
