Fantasy: M83

M83’s Anthony Gonzalez has released their ninth studio album, Fantasy, which showcases his ability to transport listeners to other worlds through his music. The album returns to the energy of his earlier work, with a focus on guitars and synths, while placing a greater emphasis on his vocals and lyrics for a more personal offering.

Gonzalez worked with longtime collaborator Justin Meldal-Johnsen and touring keyboardist and sax player Joe Berry to create extended jam sessions that build to a grand crescendo of sound. Despite its intensity, Fantasy is ultimately an album about escapism, serving as a respite from modern life’s pressures, inviting listeners to join him on a journey through their imaginations. Overall, Fantasy is a triumph for Gonzalez, showcasing his talents as a worldbuilder and musician.
