M83 continues their 2023 Fantasy Tour in Northern California

M83 is currently on the Northern California leg of their “2023 Fantasy” Tour this week. Their upcoming stops include Saratoga on October 7th and Wheatland on October 8th.

In January, M83 announced their tour in set the stage for their highly anticipated ninth studio album, "Fantasy," which saw its official release on March 17 through Mute Records. To herald this momentous occasion, the band's luminary figurehead, Anthony Gonzalez, generously unveiled the album's lead single, "Oceans Niagara," accompanied by a visually captivating music video directed by his talented brother, Yann Gonzalez. Don't miss the entrancing video below.

In describing the essence of this single, Anthony Gonzalez paints a vivid picture: "I wanted to create this sense of camaraderie. When you listen to this song, it evokes images of people in spirited motion, whether they're running, driving at breakneck speed, or embarking on interstellar journeys together. It's a feeling of forward momentum, akin to imbibing a magical elixir that propels you toward uncharted realms."

"Fantasy" represents a pivotal chapter in M83's musical odyssey, following their 2019 releases, "DSVII" and the evocative "Knife + Heart" soundtrack. With this album, Gonzalez delves deep into the harmonious interplay between guitars and synthesizers, aiming to recapture the vibrant energy reminiscent of M83's acclaimed 2005 masterpiece, "Before the Dawn Heals Us."
