M83's colorful synthesis of ‘80s and ‘90s pop, shoegaze, and post-rock can be seen refracted in the magnetic tracks of their most talented colleagues. The synth walls and freedom cries of CHVRCHES (“The Mother We Share”) and Phoenix (“1901”) echo M83's pure joy, while Sigur Ros (“Glósóli”) and Washed Out (“Soft”) reflect their more pensive moods and their instrumental precision.
