A note on M83

This show was so good it defies description. To answer the question posed by my earlier headline, I would have to invent a new word.

M83 were shimmattering. (Shimmering + Shattering, in other words the unholy combination of music’s best yet disparate qualities in a way that seems sonically impossible and utterly mind-blowing to mere mortal concert-goers like myself)

Yeah it was that good, new word good.
