DEAD CITIES, RED SEAS & LOST GHOSTS rightly put M83 on the map, and it's not difficult to hear why. Their combination of rock power, melodic melancholy and epic grandeur pack the power of an explosion. "Unrecorded," for instance, starts off with a wall of noise, but then trickles out, as if to prove that builds are not the only dynamic force in music. The beautiful "Run Into Flowers" has a powerful thrumming beginning, later echoed by some whispered lyrics. "In Church," as you would expect, has a swelling organ, that's subtly but nonetheless overcome by squalls of electric guitar. The paranoiac "America" is as dense and messy as the country itself. "Be Wild" has a quietly plantative voice in the background that's soon echoed by the melody, while "Cyborg" blends the shoegazing aesthetic to an electronic foreground. The moody strings of "Gone" slowly crescendo into a small epiphany of sound. "Beauties Can Die," however, achieves its fullness of sound immediately at the beginning and fades to a single note. On the bonus disc, "God of Thunder" pushes things into a dance tempo, while Cyann & Ben put a folksy, harmonic spin on "In Church." Finally, "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts" drifts in an ambient haze for over half of its 17 minutes before it growls into life, bursting with synth arpeggios. A truly memoriable achievement.
