M83 - "Midnight City" (Music Video)



This is the music video for "Midnight City" by the French, electronic band; M83. This is the famous hit single from their sixth & most recent studio album, "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" released in October 2011. In fact, this single reached #5 on "The Billboard Top 100" and it's a phenomenal song! It will get stuck in your head; it's got an awesome, recognizable, electronic-beat intro and a catchy chorus. The soft vocals and music style makes it sound like a song from the 80's. It reminds me of other current bands that have that similar style and sound, such as VHS or Beta and Friendly Fires. I'm a big fan of this album and especially this song.

I heard this song somewhere before and I'm sure everyone else has also heard this song from commercials, TV, or movie soundtracks, and wonder "What band is this??". M83 is finally making a splash in the United States with this album and this single! What started as a duo in 2001, has grown into a 5-man band, and they have replaced several of those members over the years as well as their sound / style.
