M83
Published on November 19, 2008 at 5:01am
One-man French electronica band M83 sometimes receives comparisons to shoegaze, the ambient pop sound so named because the people who play it tend to spend sets staring at their sneakers. But stargaze is a much better term, and not just because this band is named after a galaxy. M83s operatic sound is space incarnate, the ideal soundtrack for all your best flying dreams. This years glorious pop opus, Saturdays = Youth, is Anthony Gonzalezs symphonic tribute to 80s synth-pop (note the Boy George and Molly Ringwald lookalikes on the cover), paying homage to the decades synth pioneers while etching its own permanent place in electronic musics evolutionary chain. Showbox SoDo, 1700 First Ave. S., 628-3151, www.showboxonline.com. $20 (all ages). 8 p.m. SARA BRICKNER
