In his newfound role as film score composer, Gonzalez expertly frames a narrative through sound alone. Even if you haven’t seen the film, M83’s music guides you through the characters’ journey of transcendence and internal revelation (and in turn, your own), propelled by bubbling falsetto vocals and striking instrumental crescendos. A man with an extensive discography, Anthony Gonzalez continues to work towards expanding the listener’s consciousness and his own boundaries as an artist. If You and the Night is any indication, M83’s capabilities, whether in the daytime or the night, are limitless.
