Today's Song: M83 "Steve McQueen"
M83 have released the video for "Steve McQueen," off their year-old Hurry Up, We're Dreaming album. The fan-directed video is the winner of a contest the band held. That's some smooth movement from the inanimate toys that glide around video — impressive for a non-professional clip.
Like virtually everything else the band has done, "Steve McQueen" is lovely, hummable and thickly textured with the most soothing of reverb. Soak in it now because it sounds like something poised for a commercial that'll attempt to convince you that the secret of joy is traveling to Australia or using Kodak products or getting more info from a brochure.
