M83 Frenchman Anthony Gonzalez, the M83 braintrust, has come a long way since 2003's breakthrough, Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. But whether that path from Eno + shoegaze soundscapes to this year's Saturdays=Youth is worth the journey depends on your tolerance for '80s synth pop like the Cocteau Twins or Mr. Mister. Personally, I find M83's five-year route includes too many wrong turns, and am more intrigued by touring mates School of Seven Bells, who would seem to have updated those sounds rather than recycled them.
