M83 releases new video for "Reunion," playing two NYC shows

by John Dabrowski

There is nothing more powerful than a child’s spirit. Anthony Gonzalez knows this all so well. With the release of Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, M83 infused the themes of exuberance and innocence inside a tight, electronic pop album that defined the sound of 2011. The video for the massive “Midnight City” followed a gaggle of kids with telekinetic powers that breaks free from the institution holding them down, and now, with the release of “Reunion,” we now see their defiance, their heart, their ability to triumph over anything that stands in their way. Once again, M83 encapsulates the perfect snapshot of the power and potential that youth holds. Watch the video below (be on the lookout for a hidden Adam Yauch tribute)...



To further add to your obsession with M83’s “Reunion,” discover the Reunion EP, with remixes by The Naked and Famous, Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr, and Mylo. Listen to the Mylo remix below.
