By now many of you have heard M83's song "Midnight City", be it from the Victoria's Secret fashion show or even perhaps, your local radio stations. Anthony Gonzalez (of M83) realeased his sixth LP this year entitled "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" which Gonzalez had promised would be "very, very epic". Very, very epic indeed and while there are many truly amazing songs on the album, such as the previoulsy mentioned "Midnight City" along with other tracks such as "Bloody Valentine" and "Outro", one of the tracks stands out in my mind the most.
The most portentously titled song on M83's gorgeously monolithic sixth album is "My Tears Are Becoming a Sea." Wisps of organ drift by, billowing gently around Anthony Gonzalez's guileless vocals -- until massive keyboard stabs and crashing percussion blast in and transform the reverie into thrilling apocalyptic rapture. This has to be my favorite song on the album, take a listen.
