M83 releases new song “Karl,” from soundtrack to French film

Marc Broussely/RedfernsM83 has returned with a new song called "Karl," the first track since 2016 from the "Midnight City" outfit.

The song is part of the soundtrack for the French film Knife + Heart, a "noir-tinged erotic slasher" directed by frontman Anthony Gonzalez's brother Yann Gonzalez.

"Karl" is also the first M83 track since 2003 to feature original member Nicolas Fromageau [fro-mah-SZHO].

The full Knife + Heart soundtrack will be available digitally this Friday, followed by a physical release on April 26. You can catch the film in select U.S. theaters this spring.

M83 previously soundtracked Yann's 2013 film You and the Night, as well as the 2013 Tom Cruise sci-fi movie Oblivion. The project's most recent album is 2016's Junk.
