M83 - Fantasy - Blue Marble Color Vinyl 2LP

M83 has solidified their place as an artist who goes beyond mere escapism and instead creates full-fledged worlds through their work. Whether it's their acclaimed studio albums, film soundtracks, or compositions for stage productions, Anthony Gonzalez has shown that he has a remarkable talent for encapsulating specific emotions, places, and moments in time.

This has propelled M83 to become a GRAMMY-nominated powerhouse, headlining the iconic Hollywood Bowl and impressing audiences around the world. Their 2011 album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, has sold over a million copies.

For their latest album, Fantasy, Gonzalez had a clear vision for the direction and aesthetic. "I wanted this record to have a big impact when performed live," he explains. "I aimed to create something closer in energy to Before The Dawn Heals Us. While the combination of guitars and synths has always been a part of my music, they are more prominent on this album than in previous works."

To capture the excitement of their dynamic live shows, Gonzalez took a different approach to the recording process. "Usually, I would create demos and then work with my producer to create an album," he says. "But this time, I wanted to feel the energy of other musicians. The sensation of musicians playing together was missing, and I wanted to recapture it."

Fantasy is available on limited marbled double-blue vinyl.
