艺人介绍

M83,又名南天纸风车星系,是业余天文学家们能够在夜空中看到的最壮观旋涡星系之一。当然,M83不是星系,而是来自法国的两人组合(05年已经变成一个人…)。电子外衣下的shoegaze(自赏派)+迷幻nosie rock。可以说有时像 Sigur Ros 刻意构造的实验噪音,或还带有点 Vangelis 的环境音效在里面。

居住于法国南边的小城Antibes,Anthony Gonzalez与Nicolas Fromageau这对双人拍档自2002年的首张同名专辑以来,让世人见识到原来白色噪音,这一度濒临绝迹的梦幻声响,竟能完好如初地包裹于电子糖衣里。一口咬下,滋味依旧甜美。

2003年的破格大作Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts,正式让M83成为所有Indie Kids的新宠儿。专辑不但成功打入美国市场,在世界各地也掀起一股Shoegazer Retro风潮。适逢Air沈潜(当时Talkie Walkie仍未推出),其它电音大团多萎迷不振,M83遂与其它新世代的电音新星如Manitoba、Four Tet、Boards of Canada等顺势接起了电音摇滚的旗帜,让曾被Chemical Brothers、Prodigy炸轰着脑袋的人们再度觅得足以信仰的新声音。

今年的新作Before the Dawn Heals Us虽难突破Dead Cities的格局,但基本盘还是守住了。Nicolas的离团使得M83成为了Anthony的个人Project,如此一来音乐的一致性更为密合。新专辑加重了Vocal的比例,整体氛围趋向早期Kraut Rock的硬派精神。迷蒙甜美的吉他音墙当然仍是主角,但Anthony赋予曲子更幽深的结构的企图也是极为明显的。

In 2003, Frenchmen Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau enjoyed international acclaim for Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, a luscious blend of shoegaze aesthetics, ambient pop, and progressive textures. But M83 had been around since at least 2001, when they issued their self-titled debut through the tiny but tastemaking French label Gooom. The success of Dead Cities, Red Seas brought attention not only to M83, but Gooom, too, and suddenly glitchy, sleek, and vaguely psychedelic artists like Cyann & Ben were enjoying (deserved) exposure alongside M83. Fromageau departed the project for solo work after the second album, and Gonzalez returned to the studio for a follow-up. When Before the Dawn Heals Us appeared in January 2005, the addition of vocals and more consistent rhythms made it M83's most cohesive album yet. Gonzalez worked with producers Ewan Pearson and Ken Thomas on Saturdays = Youth, which was released in April 2008.
