While at Coachella, Under the Radar caught up with M83 keyboardist (and sometimes contributing blogger) Morgan Kibby to discuss her solo project, White Sea. We learned that M83’s Anthony Gonzalez may appear on a forthcoming White Sea track. (via M83’s Anthony Gonzalez May Appear on a White Sea Track | Under The Radar)

You have Morgan Kibby to thank for the can’t-get-‘em-out-of-your-head lyrics of “Midnight City.” A vital part of M83 since 2008’s Saturdays=Youth, Kibby has been responsible for her fair share of “lighters aloft” moments in the French/Los Angeleno collective, writing lyrics and providing vocals for the electonic/ambient/shoegaze/dance group. Currently touring behind M83’s 2011 album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, she has also been hard at work on her solo project, White Sea. (via White Sea: Riding the Wave | Under The Radar)

This year’s Coachella started off on a wrong foot when it was announced that—for the first time in eight years—no one at Under the Radar would be receiving a press pass. And so, our three-day adventure began by slapping on general admission wristbands. Now, I’m sure that mixing with fans does us journalists a world of good—after all, we need to be reminded just because we put our options on the page or screen doesn’t mean they’re any more valid than the population at large. But I couldn’t help but feel, well, a bit curmudgeonly about the whole matter. (via Coachella Recap Day 1: Neon Indian, Pulp, M83 and More | Under The Radar)
