M83, led by Anthony Gonzalez, has a history of producing critically acclaimed albums that blend shoegaze, synth-pop, and ambient electronic music.

Founded in 2001, M83 has released eight previous studio albums, including the highly successful "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" in 2011, which featured the hit single "Midnight City." The band has toured extensively and is recognized for its dynamic live performances. The establishment of the Other Suns label by Gonzalez signifies a new phase for the artist, allowing for greater creative control and independent distribution of his work.
