After a couple of one-off collaborations this year with the likes of HAIM and Jean-Michel Jarre, Anthony Gonzalez (aka M83) appears to be working on his next album.

Almost exactly four years since the release of his standout Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, which arrived Oct. 18, 2011, Gonzalez confirmed Friday he is currently in the studio working on new material, which is "due for release in 2016," according to a statement from his label Mute Records.

The update comes with news that Gonzalez is reissuing some of his out-of-print material next month. Digital Shades (2007) and Saturdays = Youth (2008) will be re-released in physical formats on Nov. 20, while Saturdays = Youth Remixes and B-Sides—a new "collection of long-unavailable tracks"—is out today.
