M83 releases "Junk"

Junk represents both a return to Gonzalez’s roots, and also a bold yet logical leap forward in M83’s artistic evolution. “I wanted to show different sides of me on this album,” he explains. “I wanted to come back with something more intimate, yet somehow with ... less me!”

About the album title, Gonzalez says, "For me it really means that anything we create today is going to end up being space junk at one point. I find it really fascinating and scary at the same time, and beautiful too in a way. I have this image of pieces of humanity floating in space, lost forever. Nowadays, everything goes so fast and everybody is kind of throwing away art in a certain manner. They're going to listen to an album for instance and just pick a track they like to put it on a playlist cause this is how it works. They're not going to take the time to listen to an album anymore because they have to jump onto the next thing."
