Bottom/ Grey Oceans is the upcoming album by CocoRosie to be released in May 2010. This will be the band's Sub Pop debut since their departure from Touch & Go Records. Nicola Meighan of The List has noted that "the US-born, Paris-based [Bianca and Sierra Casady] sisters’ foray into cry-baby drum’n’bass is bedimmed by a collage of folk, pop, electronica, jazzand opera – although it does verge on wilfully weird; and it does cross the line into musical theatre in the shocking, Broadway-touting ‘Hopscotch’. MusicOMH rates Grey Oceans 4 stars out of 5, with Sam Shepherd pointing out that "the whole album is an eclectic mix of folk, electronica, musical hall, eastern spirituals and stream of consciousness songwriting. Weird it may be, but when CocoRosie get it right, as with the cutesy pop and dark piano melancholy mix of 'Lemonade', or the beautiful ethereal balladry of the title track for example, they are unstoppable." Top/ Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts is the second album by the Frenchelectronica group M83. The album was released in 2003 on Gooom to positive reviews. The cover art is by Justine Kurland, and called Snow Angels. M83 is an electronic/dream pop act by French musician Anthony Gonzalez. It is named after a spiral galaxy, Messier 83. The band was founded in 2001 by Gonzalez and former member Nicolas Fromageau in Antibes. The musical style owes something to the shoegazing genre in its extensive use of reverb effects and lyrics spoken softly over loud instrumentals, though M83's songs employ considerably less guitar than most shoegazing bands such as My Bloody Valentine. For the third album released by M83, Before the Dawn Heals Us, Gonzalez decided to part from Fromageau and record mainly on his own. Saturdays = Youth, M83's fifth studio album was released on April 15, 2008 on Mute Records. It was recorded with Ken Thomas (known for his work with Sigur Rós, The Sugarcubes, Boys in a Band, Cocteau Twins and Suede), and Ewan Pearson (who has also produced for Tracey Thorn, The Rapture and Ladytron).
