“Junk” Release Date: April 8 Artist: M83 Label: MUTE Records B+ Duration: 56 minutes

Grace Batton @LIFE_OF_GRACE

French electronic band M83 released its seventh album, “Junk,” on Friday. The album might confuse fans with a new sound for the band. Instead of their usually futuristic, upbeat and modern techno tracks, M83 opts for a somewhat psychedelic ‘80s theme in this album. An odd fl ashback style is carried throughout most of the album with songs such as “Moon Crystal,” “Road Blaster,” “Sunday Night 1987” and “Do It, Try It,” although the latter has more of a modern dance theme mixed in with the retro vibes. “Tension” is a purely instrumental track that is almost a time warp, taking listeners back to the past. The track is similar to “Time Wind” featuring Beck, which seems to carry nearly the same throwback theme with added lyrics. “Ludivine” and “The Wizard” are also instrumental tracks that seem a bit spacey, yet are peaceful to listen to. “Walkway Blues” is a track that exemplifi es M83’s diverse yet familiar style. It deviates slightly from the band’s pop-electro theme and delves into a blues vibe. “Solitude” is a little slower-paced than some of Courtesy of The International Comic Arts Forum M83’s other songs, yet it retains the electro theme in the background and is more drawn out, including an instrumental session at the end. Scattered randomly throughout the album are a International Comic Arts couple of softer, almost romantic-sounding songs. Both “Atlantique Sud” and “Go!,” which feature Mai Lan, are examples of this. “Atlantique Sud” is a calming song sung in French, true to M83’s French origins, and Forum to promote comic art “Go!” is a romantic-themed track with Lan’s soft voice. “Bibi the Dog,” which again features Mai Lan singing William Outlaw Arts Forum, or ICAF, describes and comics in electronic media.” in French, is deeper toned, includes English lyrics and @JW_OUTLAW itself as “an annual academic According to Qiana Whitted, almost sounds sensual in nature, yet continues to conference dedicated to site liaison, ICAF executive remind listeners of the ‘80s with its peppy beat.

My colleague, Andy Wilson, recently wrote a column titled “Sanders’ fi scal policy unsustainable” and posited that the fi scal policy of Bernie Sanders will leave the next generation in an economically worse situation than their parents. By Mr. Wilson’s assumptions, the only real concern of a tax plan should be its impact on the federal debt. However, SC needs to update what Mr. Wilson neglects to consider is the even larger potential negative impact of income inequality on the next generation and what Sen. Sanders’ fi scal plan could do to fi ght it. Income inequality is prevalent throughout the world but especially in the U.S. This country, its sex ed program according to an analysis of data by the Pew Research Center, has more inequality than nearly every comparably developed country.
