M83 (Electro-pop)
What's that incredible sound coming from the Red Marquee?
It's French band M83 - named after a distant galaxy - and I'm glad I finally caught up with them because I've been a fan of these electro-shoegazers for years.
M83's sublime electro-pop is an uplifting and inspiring start to this year's Fuji Rock festival and each song takes me - and about ten thousand other Fujirockers - higher and higher.
There's an intriguing blend of ambient, dance and experimental sounds in evidence, but M83 have recently veered away from their earlier psychedelic sound to head in a poppier direction.
Their version of Don't Save Us from the Flames is rousing. It sounds like pop for the twenty-first century.
