You and the Night (OST) - CD

ENGLISH

M83 is excited to announce their latest collaboration: the soundtrack to Yann Gonzalez s first feature film, You And The Night. Mute will be releasing You And The Night via digital download on November 19th, 2013. Anthony warns that You And The Night is not a typical M83 release. People who only like Midnight City are going to be disappointed. Mellow and romantic, this soundtrack pays tribute to French soundtracks from the 70 s and is much more intimate than Hurry Up, We re Dreaming and the Oblivion Soundtrack. This score is really for lovers and ghosts.<br /> <br /> Growing up together in Antibes, France, Anthony and his brother Yann were both inspired from an early age by European filmmakers such as Luis Bunuel, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Similar themes underline each of their individual artistic expressions, via both film and music: an appreciation for the majesty of hope and an overall embrace of humanity.<br /> <br /> For Anthony You And The Night is a film about love, loss, new love and melancholia. He comments The movie is very emotional and it s the movie of my brother, so it was a very important project for me. Yet as we share the same values, have the same artistic influences, it was also a very natural and uncomplicated process.<br /> <br /> In creating this sultry and luminous soundtrack Anthony reunited with several of his previous collaborators. Joe Trapanese (Oblivion, Hurry Up, We re Dreaming) returned to assist with the orchestral arrangements, whilst long-term M83 collaborator Morgan Kibby (M83, White Sea) and Susanne Sundfør (Oblivion) performed vocals on several tracks on the album. Evolving from their time working together on Oblivion s title track, it seemed a natural step for Sundfør to become involved in the recording sessions for You And The Night. Susanne comments It was very inspiring to see how Anthony works and how his perfectionism and high ambitions brought out the best in everyone around him. It s something I m grateful to have been a part of, and I think the soundtrack ended up sounding beautiful and mystical, just like the movie.<br /> <br /> Once again You And The Night highlights the musical richness of M83 and adds an impressive chapter to the growing repertoire of work that Gonzalez has produced since his initial, self-titled release. M83, in 2001, right through to the 2011 Grammy Nominated release Nominated Hurry Up, We re Dreaming, which included the platinum selling hit-single Midnight City . Though of course, as Anthony warns, don t expect to hear anything like that on this record!
