M83 announces DSVII album

12 years on from Digital Shades Vol. 1, Anthony Gonzalez has revealed details of the follow-up, DSVII. Due for release September 20th via naïve Records, the album is influenced by vintage video games, 80s Sci-Fi films and electronic artists such as Brian Eno, John Carpenter and Mort Garson. You can pre-order the album here.

Gonzalez had this to say: “During the summer of 2017, I spent five months in Cap d’Antibes, France. I mainly spent my time swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, reading, watching films and playing ‘80s video games. The inspiration behind this record is mainly video game music. It felt so refreshing to play all of these old school games again. There is something so naive and touching about them. It’s simple and imperfect. And this is exactly what I tried to achieve with DSVII.”
