New M83 - "Je Vous Hais Petites Filles" & "Graveyard Girl (ParkerLab's Dusted Remix)" (Stereogum Premiere)
With Saturdays=Youth, Anthony Gonzalez melded his shoegazey synths and electronics to John Hughes era, Pretty In Pink-tinted nostalgia to sweeping effect and face time with Brandon Flowers, Kimmel, Conan, and the LA Philharmonic. So that is a lot of disparate reference points. Next on the docket for M83 is an EP release around "We Own The Sky," which comes with bonus goods in the form of a "Graveyard Girl" remix by ParkerLab and the new track "Je Vous Hais Petites Filles." Both leave the P. Furs/Thompson Twins aesthetic behind and show where M83 could have gone with this last slate of songs, had he continued visiting dead cities and healing dawns instead of filling up his Netflix queue with Molly Ringwald flicks.

Remix = meh. And that Maps remix is not very good either.
Me like the little girl hatred. Yes.
Score = -2
Wow, very Vangelis. Needs a Carl Sagan voiceover.
Score = 0
Yes! Old, good M83 is back (hopefully for good).
Score = 1
Seriously old school
Score = 0
sorry, but the new track just bores me. i prefer the nostalgic feel of saturdays = youth, or at least the elements of a journey in a song like in dead cities
Score = 1
I love M83. But if you're gonna remix a song, at least make the music in the same key as the vocals.
Score = 1
Yeah...
That remix sounds terrible, as if the producer already had the backing track and lazily just stuck the M83 parts over it.
Score = -2
The cool thing about what you say Eric, is that you're wrong (or def and that's even a worth problem for you). You just pretend to "know" about music and "keys"....well, the vocals just fit right, everything in in tune, you just don't like the rmx (and that's ok) so just say you don't like it....don't explain why if you don't know what you're talkin' about.
Also, if M83 just decided to keep it, they're good enough to judge the quality (or maybe you're a better musician than they are...), I don't think this band is a huge known band or what ever would justify keepin' a shitty rmx just to have the remixer's name...
IMHO, I kind of like this rmx, kind of darky/post-rock electronica and the purpose of a rmx is not to pretend to be better than the original but just to have another approach.
Score = 1
I agree Debra, right key...
this rmx is raaaad....I love that melancholic mood.
(and the production doesn't sound like a lazy work to me)
Score = 2
My bad Eric, YOU actually know about music, just went to your "myspace" (great voice btw).
So I just don't understand what sounds wrong to you...maybe you were tired or pissed-off when u commented LMAO...
Whatever, we're not talkin' about saving the world anyway so no need to argue about that, I like it, you don't and that's it :)
Score = 2
New track is great. Remix is shit. And in that photo, Anthony looks like he got lost on the way to the rave.
Score = 0
They're Back Again! Yeah!
Score = 1
hmm....not feeling the new track tbh
remix (whilst not earth shattering) isn't bad
Score = 2
I dig it, This new remix rocks mate !!! Noisey guitars vs glitches, just like it.
Funny how Anthony's voice sounds like a tweaker from hell's kitchen....lol.
You're right Stan, it's rad.
Score = 2
