Besides, having a song you made over a decade ago blow-up in a completely unrelated genre and scene must be fairly alienating. The fuzzy and slightly twee 'electronica' scene (and its sibling, the portentous post-rock scene) has given way to new currents in modern music now, and M83 is a lot less relevant. It's a generational thing, as much as anything this project was part of an altogether different zeitgeist, that sort of college-music era when Pitchfork-pushed guitar bands crossed over with electronic sounds. ![]() Your average M83 fan/crowd are probably more likely to come from a background of, like, listening to Sigur Rós and Röyksopp. Big drums, big guitars, big synths, big vocals. Maybe in a few days, there’ll be some apps that can do this, but yeah, we’re gonna play a lot of noise music and have some very ambient moments. Sometimes I wish that I could erase that fan base but I don’t think it’s possible to do that. All of a sudden, I have these bro EDM DJs playing my music, and I just can’t even care less. EDM is probably one of the styles of music that I hate the most. I mentioned this in an interview before, but it’s almost that I want to keep the fans of “Midnight City” away from entering - which I mean mostly as a bad joke.įor me, the struggle with being a successful artist with that album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, and especially with that track, “Midnight City”, is that all of a sudden, I had this huge EDM following. It’s probably going to be more shoegaze-y, electronic show-based. But otherwise, we’re going to play songs from every album. Let’s put it this way, there’s gonna be songs from pretty much every album except the very first one. Now with nine albums to your name, how difficult will it be to craft the setlist for your upcoming tour?
