Gonzalez and Fromageau parted ways shortly after touring their second album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. Gonzalez records primarily on his own, with other artists as guest musicians. The band is signed to Mute Records and found international success in 2011 with the single "Midnight City". Their most recent album DSVII (the sequel of Digital Shades Vol. 1) was released on 20 September 2019.
Anthony Gerard Gonzalez (born March 13, 1980) grew up in Antibes, France together with his brother Yann. His family had a great interest in football and Gonzalez had trials with AS Cannes, while his maternal grandfather is the French international Laurent Robuschi. At the age of 14 he got injured and turned to music instead after his parents bought him a guitar. Gonzalez developed his interest in music and American culture while at secondary school. Together with Fromageau he formed a post-rock outfit called My Violent Wish.
At the age of 17, Gonzalez bought a synth to record a demo, which he sent to a number of French labels. When the Paris-based Gooom Records appeared interested, he recruited Fromageau to "help me because I didn't feel like I had the shoulders to carry the project on my own". The band is named after the galaxy of the same name.
The band's musical aesthetic is characterized by extensive use of reverb effects and lyrics spoken softly over loud instruments. Gonzalez has been inspired by aspects of the American Dream and his songs have been outlined as themed around "adult-scripted teen dreams". Inspiration for the 1980s style found in much of Gonzalez’s music includes bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd, and Tangerine Dream. Between various electronic music properties and album artwork, M83’s style includes a mix of both contemporary pop and 1980s dream pop.

Midnight City
M83 Lyrics
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
At night the city grows
Look at the horizon glow
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Drinking in the lounge
Following the neon signs
Waiting for a word
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in its blinding twilight
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark

Allow me to share a story from my life and this song.
I was visiting my best friends flat just like I always do. He had new flatmates, a big friendly looking Islander was sitting on the couch messing with his phone. He looked up and gave me a smile as a greeting before going back to his phone. I nodded in return as I headed to my mates' room.
We played the usual set of games while chatting about nothing in particular. he was on a bit of a losing streak, now having lost to me in a game I'd never even played before, he was getting touchy. I made a few light-hearted comments about button mashing and beginners luck but he was having non of it. The next few minutes where awkward, just sitting around while he played on his phone by himself. Eventually I decided I'd just start dinner for us, he couldn't make pancakes without a guidebook.
Walking into the kitchen, I noticed someone sitting in the living room. I turned to see if the Islander guy was still around, and to my surprise somebody new was seated on one of the armchairs. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. His hair flowed down around his shoulders before being pulled into a ponytail behind his back, framing his gentle tanned face which its self was captivated by a fantasy novel held in one hand. My heart beat faster, I'd never felt this. just over twenty and feeling love for the first time. Becuase thats what it was, wasn't it? what else could it be?
They looked up from their book, catching my stare and meeting my eyes. He smiled. He smiled AT me. my heart raced. what do I do? should I try and say something witty and embarrass my self? He stood up and walked toward me, his loose jumper sagging below his wast. He came closer, warm smile still on his lips, looking up at me. I realized with a start that I was almost a foot taller than him, his small frame seeming delicate next to me, chin barely reaching my collarbone. His hand reached for the collar of my t shirt, dragging my face into a kiss. Pulling away, he grinned, and dragged me toward the bathroom.
I won't go into detail about what happened there but I guess you can imagine.
It was just a one night stand, nothing more, but God did I want more. I visited my friend more often, just on the off chance of seeing them again, I didn't even know their name.
We meet a few more times like that, time spent reading while sharing a couch. Other times in passionate urgency in stolen moments. I was madly in love, no way around it.
Three weeks had passed since we met. Three weeks without a word spoken between us. I think we liked it that way. But today was the day I was going to ask him out, I know a bit late you might say but it was something I had to do. I had to have something more, something special. Preparing lunch in the kitchen I watch them read in the living room. Just like the day I met him. I put down the condiments I was holding and turned to ask the question of my life...
That was when the sun woke me. As light filtered through my curtains I cried. I fell in love with a dream. the first and only time I've fallen in love.
This is the song that helps me remember.
