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.
Another Wave From You
M83 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I saw you there.
The lyrics to M83's song Another Wave from You are short and simple, yet they hold a lot of meaning. The repeated line "Think I saw you there" suggests a feeling of uncertainty and confusion. The singer is not entirely sure if they saw the person they are referring to, or if it was just an illusion or a memory. This line is then followed by a haunting instrumental melody that adds to the overall atmosphere of the song.
The title itself, Another Wave from You, could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be referring to the idea of waves in the ocean, which can be unpredictable and fleeting, much like memories or dreams. It could also be metaphorical, suggesting that the person the singer is thinking of is like a wave, coming and going in their life in unpredictable ways. Overall, the lyrics to this song are open to interpretation, but they create a sense of nostalgia and longing for something that may or may not be real.

This is easily the best of the "interlude" tracks. It makes my imagination go wild every time I hear it.
@dR0L0b
They actually have a song for that, have you heard “Be Wild” of their album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts?? That’s one of my favorites of them :3
