He created his own label in response, Other Suns, designed especially for artists “who can’t put out records at the moment because they are asked not just to make good music, but also to be influencers. “I take my time when I make my albums. It’s partly out of timidity, I don’t want to force my music on people all the time.”
“Many people don’t know that he’s French and had a massive career in the US before ‘Midnight City,'” said Paul Langeois, head of Beauregard festival, where M83 is playing this summer.
