M83 at Lincoln Hall Nov. 17
More Just Announced
Whether you’re a dedicated follower of the post-shoegaze/dream pop/chillwave movements, or whether you just watch a lot of Top Gear, chances are pretty good you’ve encountered the synth-filled tunes of French act M83. After leaving legions of fans drooling last month with a pretty video teaser for a new album, Anthony Gonzalez—the band’s founder and almost sole contributor—has announced a 20-date North American tour. The first show, set to take place at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City, will mark the reverb-soaked music project’s first live show in two years. And that’s, like, forever in young-people time.
Tickets can be purchased starting today through M83’s website, with a general sale to begin July 12. If you’re getting anxious just thinking about this, and you feel like you can’t wait the five or so months before the tsunami of layered keyboards and eerie vocals splashes down on Lincoln Hall, take a deep breath, brew some aromatic tea, and watch that part of Stranger Than Fiction over and over and over.
No word yet on supporting acts for the tour, or on how big a bus Mute Records will have to charter in order to transport all of Gonzalez’s synths and drum machines.
