M83

Seriously, everyone is buzzing about M83 right now, and it seems the indie-electro-art-pop act’s singles are popping in the most unexpected of marketing placements. I never thought a Victoria’s Secret commercial would actually resonate with me, but apparently lingerie-clad models being fierce to a soundtrack of “Midnight City” can really make a bra-panty set seem … emotive? Weird. I guess it’s a testament to one’s music when it can make even the most mundane, or gimmicky, things seem monumentally epic and emotionally important. I mean, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want that song as my soundtrack for walking down the street too. Fully clothed, that is. - Brien Overly
