M83: Outro

A video worth watching by the magnificent M83, for the track Outro from last year's Hurry Up We're Dreaming album.

M83 are probably the French band that have made the biggest commercial and artistic breakthrough in the non-French world since Justice.

The track Midnight City, the first single from the album, established itself as a radio favourite, appearing in the soundtrack for TV shows and a number of advertising campaigns as varied as American lingerie brand Victoria's Secret to the BBC's coverage of the 2012 London Olympic games.

A second single has been released from the album lawst week, the track Reunion appearing as an EP of remixes from the likes of Mylo, Sei A, The Naked And Famous, Polly Scattergood, We Have Band and White Sea.

For a modern band, they've built a reputation the old fashioned way, through live shows and quality music rather that internet hype and social media gossip. They've played at key festivals in the UK and the USA and are this summer playing in the UK, with two dates in London, as well as shows in Belfast and Edinburgh. An American tour is scheduled for the autumn.
