French Electronic band M83 underwent some changes prior to the release of the April-released album, “Junk”. Morgan Kibby, their long-term keyboardist and vocalist, departed the group before recording began and forced M83 to change things slightly. Junk is a more collaborative album with performers like Beck, Jordan Lawlor and Mai Lan lending their vocals. Lan’s contributions go into the best moments from Junk: chief among them is the album’s third single, Go! One of the most infectious and bright choruses from any artists this year: an intoxicating rainbow-coloured celebration that is impossible not to sing along to. Junk split critics and contained its share of filler but tracks like Go! stood out and proved the French outfit had plenty of invention in their locker.
M83, aka Anthony Gonzalez, new studio album ‘Junk’ is out now:
