M83, “Midnight City” (2011)
find it on Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming

I didn’t go as crazy for the previous couple M83 records like some other people I could mention (but won’t because it would be completely pointless), but this song has been digitally filed into the HOT DAMN section of my iTunes library. The irresistible synth loop, the barely-there vocals and, to use a phrase I feel like I’ve been using a lot lately, an awesome sax solo outro.

I should probably also file this record along with Washed Out into the COULD BE PLAYED OVER CLOSING CREDITS TO ANY GIVEN JOHN HUGHES MOVIE section.
