M83 - Midnight City
It's pretty easy to get lost in this song. It has a cool 80's pop/rock vibe to it; almost like Depeche Mode mixed with MGMT? Something like that. I like how the lyrics blend into the music, almost as an additional instrument in the band. The unique sound made me research M83 a bit, and I've learned that the band is influenced by what's called the shoegazing genre, famous in the 80's and early 90's. Wikipedia: The shoegazing sound is typified by significant use of guitar effects, and indistinguishable vocal melodies that blended into the creative noise of the guitars. Indistinguishable is right. I had no idea what was being sung until I looked it up. However, the song sounds really cool and makes me want to float away back into the 80's for a night.
