Towards the end of 2015, M83 fans were elated to hear Anthony Gonzalez shed light on the band’s forthcoming, seventh studio album. While details were given, a release date was not provided until now. The album, Junk, will be released on April 8 via Mute and supported by an extensive multi-national tour throughout the spring and well into the latter half of summer.
As part of the album date announcement, Gonzalez has given a taste of what’s to come by debuting the first song off Junk, “Do It, Try It.” A simplistic yet futuristic melody that picks up during its last minute, “Do It, Try It” falls right in stride with the eclectic, ’70s and ’80s television-inspired theme, planned for the album.
In an albeit interesting, but not unheard of, move by Gonzalez, M83 is also actively recruiting a new, female singer-keyboardist to fill the role of former member, Morgan Kibby, on this upcoming tour. See the complete list of tour dates below.
