Kim & Jessie-M83
My immediate reaction, from the opening notes of this song, is that it instantly reminds me of "Heartbreak Beat" by the Psychedelic Furs. Ok...I love this song, although it is not my favorite Psychedelic Furs song (tough call there....easily one of my favorite bands from the 80's....The Ghost In You, Torch, Get A Room, Heaven) but "Heartbreak Beat" is a very sexy song (in particular, in its first 30 seconds). It always reminds me of going out, of all the possibilities of a great evening and what that means. And of course, for me, at my age, it is imbued with a sense of nostalgia.
Well anyways, the beginning of this song reminds me so much of that song. The 80's reference is strong throughout (as on much of M83's latest record). Whats cool about this song is how it cleverly alludes to its references without copying them. Love the whole album as well...
When I Wake-The Changes
Superb 3 minutes of power pop. Reminds me of Nick Lowe or Marshall Crenshaw. This is a very very good thing. If it isn't summer, it will make you feel like it is
