June 4, 2012 Concrete Opinions Leave a comment

To coincide with the release of M83’s Reunion EP, the official music video was released a couple of days ago. Reunion is the second single from last year’s epic Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. The EP features a handful of Reunion remixes from the likes of Mylo, The Naked And Famous, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr..

p.s. If you’re lucky enough to attend the Austin City Limits this year (Oct. 12-14), you’ll definitely want to catch M83’s set.

Short and sweet today. I’m still on vacation, but the latest from Sigur Rós hits stores tomorrow and I can’t ignore it. You’ll definitely want to check out Largehearted Boy, because even with the limited releases this memorial week, there’s still a handful of great releases worthy of a listen (including releases from Edward Sharpe and the magnetic Zeros, Regina Spektor, Swans, and The Walkmen).
