M83 with DJ White Marsh

Ambient shoegaze-pop group M83 is the project of 28-year-old France-based musician Anthony Gonzalez.

Up through 2005, Gonzalez collaborated with his pal Nicolas Fromageau, crafting spaced-out synth-powered compositions

But when the two mutually split, Gonzalez went pop, releasing last year's excellent, slow-growing album Saturdays=Youth.

That disc most recently caught the ears of the Kings of Leon and the Killers, who both asked Gonzalez (plus his backing band) to open up their string of recent U.S. arena dates.
