Friday Fancy : M83 “Skin Of The Night”

September 3, 2010 MUSICMAKERS No Comments

by Fairy Cake

For the last two weeks, I’ve really tried to buck my own trends.  In anticipation of this week’s Friday Fancy, I proposed not one, but two, completely non-music related Friday Fancies to my Cakette sisters.  But, 3 paragraphs into a end-of-week ode to Guardian journo Marina Hyde (sorry Marina), I’m banging the backspace.  I am officially a slave to my ears.

This week’s distraction from non-fanatical journalism comes courtesy of M83, or rather, French musician with conspicuously non-French sounding name, Antony Gonzalez.  The song is called ‘Skin Of The Night’, from his fifth album Saturdays=Youth.  It’s a compound of delays, cheap drum machines, shoegazing and stellar female vocals, and has filled me with an overwhelming urge to ingest something hallucinogenic and lie down in a darkened room.

Out of this world.

The live version is wonderful too.
