M83 Reunion

"Midnight City" by M83 was regarded as one of the top tracks of 2011 (in some circles, at least), and it came with a surreal paranormal music video to match. The clip, directed by Fleur & Manu (who have also done videos for Tricky and Sebastian Tellier), featured a group of telekinetic children with glowing eyes artfully escaping their institutional shackles and throwing things around an abandoned warehouse with their minds. The kids are back in M83's latest video for "Reunion," but this new clip ups the action quotient — a group of suits with their own glowing-eyed child (and some Nokia Lumia handsets, if you look closely) appear to be trying to reclaim the escapees.

There's a lot more glowing, an SUV being flung through the air, orange-eyed antagonists — and that's without mentioning the epic soundtrack. There's also a quick tribute to late Beastie Boy Adam Yauch if you keep your eyes peeled. Given the ending, it wouldn't surprise us if M83 had a third part in store for us; In the meantime, get caught up on the saga by checking out the videos below.
