M83 - "Graveyard Girl"

M83's Saturdays = Youth received a score of 8.5 from Pitchfork while receiving an average score of 7.2 on Metacritic. I just downloaded the full album today but my initial impressions have me quite impressed. So far the song "Graveyard Girl" is the standout track blending 80's nostalgia with all the emotions of one's teen angst-ridden years. This song is some of the best shoegaze pop I have heard in a while and I highly recommend giving the song as well as the album a try.

M83 - Saturdays = Youth

When I listen to electronic based music it usually elicits one of two responses... (1). Linda Blair Exorcist style vomiting, or (2). The desire to strap on a skin tight black shirt and pump my fists in the air Guido/Jersey Shore style (see example here). So far I am enjoying these tunes so we will place them in the latter category. Saturdays = Youth is set to release on April 14, 2008.
