Live session by M83 recorded at the KEXP radio studios in Seattle on 2 October 2023. The project of French musician Anthony Gonzalez, M83 has been one of the major names in atmospheric electronic and dream pop since the early 2000s, known for cinematic synthesizer layers and the hit Midnight City. This filmed set brings the full band together for seven songs, including Run Into Flowers, Amnesia and Noise, in a stage version where electronics blend with guitars, saxophones and vocals. The KEXP format, valued for its refined production, showcases the richness of M83’s sonic textures in an intimate setting, far from festival scale. This live session reveals the organic, collective dimension of music often perceived as purely studio-made. For fans of electronic and atmospheric pop, this filmed live offers a valuable glimpse of M83’s repertoire reinterpreted on stage, carried by the voices of Anthony Gonzalez and keyboardist Kaela Sinclair.
