M83 Announce Results Of Keyboardist Auditions
Back before M83 announced their new album Junk with weird lead single “Do It, Try It,” Anthony Gonzalez put out a call to find a new singer-keyboardist for the band that would accompany them on their upcoming world tour. (They’re replacing Morgan Kibby, who formerly occupied that role.) As Pitchfork points out, the group has found the right candidate: Dallas, TX musician Kaela Sinclair, who released her debut album in 2013 and is releasing a follow-up later this year. Here’s how Gonzalez announced the results of the search on Twitter:
Thank you to everyone who sent in their videos to audition to sing with me on tour! We had hundreds! *A

It was really difficult to choose a new singer for the band but when I saw @kaelasinclair it was obvious she would be perfect! *A
