M83 announces new album with first single "Oceans Niagara"

"Oceans Niagara" is M83's first new outing since his 2019 album DSVII, and is teamed with a video directed by his brother Yann Gonzalez.

"Very proud to present the first track of my new album Fantasy. It’s called "Oceans Niagara" and it’s the very first collaboration between my brother Yann Gonzalez and myself on a music video. I wanted to create this sense of friendship. Listening to that song, I imagine people running, driving fast, or riding spaceships together. It’s this sense of going forward, like a magic potion that you take to discover new worlds. Beyond Adventure!"

Gonzalez says of his Fantasy album, "I wanted this record to be very impactful live. The idea was to come back with something closer to the energy of Before The Dawn Heals Us. The combination of guitars and synths is always in my music, but it’s maybe more present on this new record than on the previous ones."

"I wanted to be more present lyrically and vocally even if that was daunting at first," he adds. "I thought if I could achieve that, this album will be more personal than those that came before."
