The wonderful album by M83, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, is only $3.99 as of today (22 tracks!). The first two videos from the album are intense visions about children with powers in dystopian society. Watch the first two videos in order: "Midnight City" and "Reunion." Pretty cool.

M83 On Fallon With "Midnight City"
in Music
M83 has one of my favorite albums of the year, Hurry Up We're Dreaming. Actually it's a double album. My iPod asks me for a little diversity and I'm reluctant, because I love this album and I love it loud. I think you will too.
If you aren't convinced, please watch them play Fallon with their great song "Midnight City." Turn up the volume. The lyrics are below the video if you want to follow along. Lyric of note, "The city is my church." What does this song teach us about the culture?
"Midnight City" Lyrics
Waiting in the car
Waiting for a ride
At night the city grows
Look at the horizon glowWaiting in the car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Drinking in the lights
Following the neon signsWaiting for a word
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in its blinding twilightWaiting in the car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
M83 | "Wait"

I don't talk much about my favorite songs. I talk about songs I like, and there are many. But one new song that I've just completely fallen for is "Wait" by M83. It's off their new 22 track double album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, which is sure to be high on my list of best albums from 2011. This isn't an official video, just a picture, but you get to hear the song. If you want to really digest it, close your eyes and crank it up. It builds and soars. Enjoy!

If you haven't gotten into the vintage 80's sound of M83, you should. It's great stuff. Their new album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, releases tomorrow (pick it up) and is streaming today. Their previous album, Saturdays = Youth, was outstanding. Here's the new video for "Midnight City"...
