RETURNING: M83 - Midnight City


Here is a track receiving endless electronic love at the moment. Named after a spiral galaxy, M83 really will send you up to the heavens with this euphoric slice of dream pop. The brainchild of Anthony Gonzales from Antibes, France. M83 continue to carve their shoegaze niche with a little more punch than you'd expect.


The surfacing taster track"Midnight City" is taken from their upcoming album HURRY UP, WE'RE DREAMING, and this nugget hits the spot with all the killer synthesised pop production that we've come to expect from MUTE records. It really is a solid effort from M83, with backing vocals that are some-what reminiscent of an in prime Kate Bush, supplying a rhythmical backing that only aids the inevitable head bobbing. Furthermore - as the icing on the cake - there is a blast of Bowie Rock Sax towards the end and it's high time somebody brought back the saxophone in pop music!


HURRY UP, WE'RE DREAMING is released on the 18th of October on MUTE.
