M83 :: Midnight City


Never was there a more appropriately titled track. "Midnight City," the dark and lively first single from M83's forthcoming double LP, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (Out October 8) was released today to well-deserved critical acclaim. It's a riotous song that easily passes as one of the catchiest singles of 2011.

While the song subtly embraces present trends (hello 80's saxophone, thanks again Dan Bejar...), it's never lost in them. Similar to his previous album, Saturday = Youth, M83 continues to mine the sound of long nights, boundless young love and endless movement. According to Gonzalez, "the direction of the album is very, very, very epic." Sounds about right so far. Check it out below.
