M83 - Saturdays = Youth

I few days ago, after listening to the new album Saturdays = Youth by M83, I posted the following on Twitter - "the new M83 album... reminds me of everything good about 80s teeny-bopper movie montages." A few days later I read an article in XLR8R's April issue that explained Anthony Gonzalez's inspiration for the entire album was '80s movies, specifically noting The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Say Anything. Then after having a look at the cover art it became apparent. I was shocked to see how well they (produced by Ken Thomas, Ewen Pearson and Anthony Gonzalez) were able to get this across in the album without being cheesy, and still sticking to the original M83 sound. My favorite song on the album is by far "Graveyard Girl", have a listen, also check out the music video.
