Anthony Gonzalez aka M83 just shared a new track from his forthcoming full-length album JUNK, that is set to hit stores this Friday, April 8th. His latest synth pop track is dubbed ‘Go!,’ and features lead vocals from French chanteuse Mai Lan, and a guitar solo by virtuoso Steve Vai. Gonzalez’s love for all things ‘80s is a reoccurring theme on his latest project, in which he looks to earlier decades for fresh, timeless inspiration. ‘Everyone’s trying to be modern and fit into radio formats, but I find that boring,’ Gonzalez says. ‘Those songs were moving and sentimental. They had something to say.’Press play below to stream M83‘s ‘Go!‘:
