Dear Friends and Family,

Just a small note to let you know that I am writing a tour blog for the next three months while I am traveling and playing with M83 throughout Europe and the US. The blog will be hosted by Kevin Bronson who was a senior music writer and editor for the LA Times. I am thrilled and honored that he asked me to do this. Should you have the time and the inclination to check it out, the link is as follows:

Lots of love,

Morgan

Death to Anders [Listen]

While it’s up to the listener to decide whether or not Death to Anders’ new album, Fictitious Business, is a concept album — Danson says “maybe” — there’s no question that it’s an ambitious accomplishment both in songwriting and production that demands to be listened to in its entirety. A self-described “surreal and cryptic look at life in the 21st century,” the album takes listeners on an intense journey full of abrupt turns through beautiful and paranoid terrain marked by lush walls of sound, rollicking melodies, noisy swells and questioning lyrics. There’s a lot of variety within and between each of the 10 songs, but an ongoing narrative with repeating themes sews it all together.

Dios (Malos) [Listen]

Dios Malos have a sound as big and beautiful as you’re willing to let it be. Consider any one of their songs on its own, and you have a relatively simple concoction. Retro surf and sunshine pop are the basic templates — Dios (Malos) is a world where even heartbreak is rendered in primary colors and ornamented in glittering bells and cheerful whistles. A psychedelic haze floats over much of their work, but it’s a cheerful psychedelic haze.For most artists, tackling such a variety of styles in one album would be overwhelming at best; at worst, it would invite the sort of stylistic excess that leads to anonymity. Through smart songcraft, a powerful command of pop vocabulary, and skillful track sequencing, Dios Malos deliver an album that expands and grows more complicated with every listen. “Epk” will help you to better appreciate “My Broken Bones”, which will in turn enhance “I Want it All”. As you learn to understand and decode the band’s songwriting decisions, your appreciation will grow that much deeper — and what seemed like simple, straightforward music will become increasingly engrossing.

Calexico w/ the Cave Singers
Henry Fonda Theater



Southwestern indie-folkies Calexico are constantly redefining themselves. Since its founding members moved from LA to Tucson in 1994, the band has developed an affinity for unique sounds drawn from a library of indigenous instruments. Often getting help from friends such as Neko Case and Iron and Wine, Calexico rock accordions, vibraphones, and marimbas on tunes saturated with shadowy melodies and sun-warmed western dust. The group is quick to shift shape, however, inhabiting styles ranging from minimalist acoustic folk to mariachi to Afro-Peruvian pop. Tonight, Calexico present songs from their latest effort, Carried to Dust.
