DSVII - Pink Candy Floss 2LP

180g Double Heavyweight Pink Candyfloss Colour LP in Gatefold Sleeve.

Release Date: 20th September 2019

M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez released Digital Shades Vol. 1 in 2007 as a compendium of unused ambient tracks for diehard fans to enjoy rather than letting these works disappear into the void. It was a way to breathe life into songs that normally would not see the light of day as well as a vehicle for Gonzalez to explore areas of musical creativity separated from the pop-leaning M83 studio albums. Gonzalez credits Brian Eno’s ambient collections as a pri¬mary inspiration for the creation of the Digital Shades series.

Now, more than a decade later, M83 has returned with the latest instalment of Digital Shades - one that adopts a grander nature and seeks to transport listen¬ers to another time and place entirely. DSVII is influenced heavily by early video game soundtracks, ‘80s sci-fi/fantasy films and analog synth pioneers such as the aforementioned Brian Eno in addition to Suzanne Ciani, Mort Garson and John Carpenter.
