Anthony
Gonzalez has announced details of his new album, Junk, due to be released on
April 8th this year. The new album will be the seventh from M83 and the first
new full-length offering in five years, serving as the follow-up to 2011's
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.
The track
list for the new album reveals several collaborators, including Norwegian
singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør and French singer Mai Lan, as well as a track
named 'Time Wind' featuring Beck.
One person
that won't be featuring however is keyboardist Morgan Kibby. Kibby has been
part of M83's live band for several years and featured prominently on the last
two albums, but left the group prior to the recording of Junk. Gonzalez used
crowd-sourcing to recruit a replacement, Jordan Lawler, who features on the new
album's third track 'Walkaway Blues'.
Along with
the album announcement, M83 has also premiered the album's opening track, 'Do
It, Try It', which you can find below.
