Tell us your favorite band of all time and explain what draws you to them. If you have any favorite songs or performances you've attended, be sure to list them. Also feel free to discuss the genre and similar artists if you like.
While I may have said Radiohead or Pink Floyd a few years ago, I've been really engrossed in the indie rock genre more recently, where I came across the band M83. M83 is a relatively new band, they were formed in 2001 by Anthony Gonzalez. I'd consider M83 to be pretty pure shoegaze. M83's music, while it may be difficult to fully appreciate it on the first listen, is very engrossing, dreamlike and melodic. Of their discography, I feel that Saturdays = Youth(2008) and Before the Dawn Heals Us(2005) are the most compelling.
The song that really stands above the rest would be Kim and Jessie. The song is reminiscent of 80s new wave, heavy synth with a bit of a dark, melancholy feel. It's a beautiful song that I could listen to thousands of times without it feeling dull.
