Artist: M83

Track: “Do It, Try It”

It’s the year 2016, and everyone knows of M83.  With their breakthrough record having come in 2008 with Saturdays=Youth, it has seemingly been nothing but constant ascension for this bunch, culminating in the massive double record Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.  For the first time since 2011, we’re faced with an upcoming full-length album from the indie/electronic stars entitled Junk.  Even though the album art is the stuff nightmares are made of, the lead single off the LP, “Do It, Try It”, is confirmation that Junk will be anything but.  Exploding with sonic energy, the track bubbles with upbeat pianos/keyboards, soars atop massive synths, and features one of the most irresistible hooks of the year so far.  Sure it’s weird, and it’s not the same M83 that gave us chills on “Wait”, but it’s fun – and a welcome change even if it ends up being a one time indulgence.  For a band that seems limitless in their capabilities, why not splash a little color on the walls?
