DOWNLOAD M83, Graveyard Girl MP3

The contrast between disaffected youth and status quo adulthood sets the stage for the Graveyard Girl mp3, where the relentlessly upbeat music is constantly at odds with the dark and tortured brooding of the protagonist. M83 wants to recapture his rebellious and spirited youth at the same time he is permanently leaving it behind, and that tension is palpable.

The remainder of the new M83 album is really an alterna-pop salute to the days of bygone youth, but unlike in “Graveyard Girl” the dominant lyrical content is light and breezy—a catchy and simple pop that has occasionally succeeded throughout the years. Its touchstone is some of the more thoughtful alterna-pop acts from the 80s, like Tears For Fears or Simple Minds, and there will always be a place for it.
