French synth pop titans M83 have announced the title and release date of their next album. Junk is the follow up to 2011’s acclaimed Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, and its presumably deliberately kitsch artwork has also been revealed. It features a cheeseburger in space alongside two aliens that are suspiciously resemblant to Zig and Zag.
Anthony Gonzalez shed some light on the album title in a press release: “I have this image of pieces of humanity floating in space, lost forever … nowadays everything goes so fast and everybody is kind of throwing away art in a certain manner. People will listen to an album for instance and just pick a track they like to put on a playlist. They’re not going to take the time to listen to an album anymore”.
Listen to album opener “Do It, Try It” here. Junk will be released on April 08, 2016
