Best Songs of 2011: #15

M83 - "Midnight City"

The cover to M83's 2008 album Saturdays=Youth featured a tribute to the late John Hughes; blindingly white youths adorned in the idiosyncratic costumes of the 80s. That album relied heavily on sounds from that decade, but their new (and perhaps best) song "Midnight City" is able to capture the emotions of the New Wave masters while making concessions to the contemporary dancefloor.
