Over the span of two decades, M83 has firmly established himself as an artist whose work transcends mere escapism, opting instead for true world-building. Whether through his acclaimed studio albums, cinematic soundtracks, or stage compositions, Anthony Gonzalez has proven that no one matches his ability to perfectly encapsulate a specific era, emotion, or place.
On Fantasy, the spine-tingling moments so characteristic of M83 are aplenty. M83’s music has always spoken to dreamers, to those who, like him, strive for something beyond the confines of our modern existence. With Fantasy, M83 once again demonstrates his innate ability to seamlessly shift from scoring life’s greatest triumphs to soundtracking its deepest defeats.
