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 Fantasy was released on 17 March 2023.
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.

M83 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you look in my eyes
All that I felt somehow dies
No, no, no, no
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
No, no, no, no
Don't act like everything's fine
Stop putting dreams in my head
When I should've thought of him instead
When you say the things you do
It makes me want to be with you
And every time that he kisses me
You are always what I see
No, no, no, no
You make me forget about him
No, no, no, no
Don't look at me with that smile
Don't act like everything's fine
Stop putting dreams in my head
When I should've thought of him instead
No, no, no, no
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
No, no, no, no
Don't look at me with that smile
Don't act like everything's fine
Stop putting dreams in my head
When I should've thought of him instead
Don't look at me with that smile
Don't act like everything's fine
Stop putting dreams in my head
When I should've thought of him instead
The lyrics of M83's "0078h" tell the story of a woman who is struggling with her feelings for two different men. She is in a relationship with one man, but every time she looks into the eyes of the other man, her emotions become confusing and she begins to forget about her current partner. The woman is aware that this is not fair to her partner and tries to resist the temptation of the other man's affections. She asks him to stop making her feel something she shouldn't and demands that he stop invading her thoughts with his dreams.
The lyrics highlight the internal struggle of someone who is torn between two worlds. The woman knows what the right thing to do is, but her heart is leading her down a different path. The song conveys a sense of desperation and longing, as she tries to stay loyal to her partner but battles her own desires.
Overall, "0078h" stands as a poignant and relatable message that speaks to the difficulty of navigating relationships and the complexities of human emotion.

I was someone else's girl
I was in a relationship with someone else
Every time you look in my eyes
When you look into my eyes, I feel emotional
All that I felt somehow dies
Any emotions that I had seem to disappear
No, no, no, no
I disagree and do not want this
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
Don't you realize how much you're hurting me?
Don't look at me with that smile
Stop smiling at me like that
Don't act like everything's fine
Stop pretending like everything is okay
Stop putting dreams in my head
Stop making me imagine things that can't happen
When I should've thought of him instead
I should have been thinking about my boyfriend instead of you
When you say the things you do
When you speak to me like you do
It makes me want to be with you
It causes me to desire you
And every time that he kisses me
Whenever my boyfriend kisses me
You are always what I see
I imagine it's you instead

One of M83´s best... as much as I love their new work... their old stuff is also pretty amazing. It´s different.
@tshou520
This was the first M83 song that I ever heard. I thought that music was dead, then this came on the college station. They played two songs, but this is the one that I remember. I would have wet myself if they had played Cyborg. That's my favorite on this album.
@salvadorm5046
Love the chiptune vibe of this track
