    Anthony Gonzalez’s new album as M83Fantasyis out March 17th, but if you can’t wait til then, you’re in luck: the French artist has shared the first six songs of the project, known collectively as Chapter 1, and you can listen to them below.

    Chapter 1 of Fantasy includes the songs “Water Deep,” “Oceans Niagara,” “Amnesia,” “Us and the Rest,” “Earth to Sea,” and “Radar, Far, Gone.” Gonzalez has said his latest album was meant to have a raw energy he could execute live, and based on these songs, the project does so with both cinematic keys (“Water Deep”) and quiet acoustic guitar (“Radar, Far, Gone”) in addition to the artist’s usual brand of stadium-ready electronic rock.

    “I wanted to be more present lyrically and vocally even if that was daunting at first,” Gonzalez said in a statement. “I thought if I could achieve that, this album will be more personal than those that came before.”
