Due to an unfortunate recording software error we won't be able to offer you an archived version of this gig. We are as disappointed as you are, but the audio file is not in a state of being published. The live stream was successfully streamed to four hundred (lucky) listeners though. Amazing night!

"It's been a decade plus and Anthony Gonzalez somehow didn't already have a song called "Midnight City". But now that it's the lead single of his upcoming "very epic" 2xLP Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, something with that title was almost assured of being quintessential M83. And it hardly disappoints on that front: the sawtoothed synthesizers and endless ascension of Dead Cities, Red Cities and Lost Ghosts applied to Saturdays=Youth's pop gooeyness, but blown up with the monolithic proportionality of Before The Dawn Heals Us (not to mention its album cover). Its concision and cocksure disco strut brings a certain novelty, but it's above all else the fine-tuning of a master craftsman only challenged by himself: Not a day of his three-year absence went to waste, and yet nothing feels forced."
