As one would expect, M83‘s early material–2001’s M83, 2004’s Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, and 2005’s Before the Dawn Heals Us–sold out long, long ago. To help fans out, the indie synthpop act have reissued them all in CD, vinyl, and digital formats through Mute Records with, you guessed it, rarities and B-sides.
To give people a taste of what those rare tracks sound like, M83’s Anthony Gonzalez has shared two lost music videos. The first was the outer space phenomenon “Lower Your Eyelids to Die with the Sun,” and this time we get an almost NSFW nude video for “In The Cold I’m Standing.” The Before the Dawn Heals Us track is simple in structure, avoiding the ease of a chorus, and is simple in concept. The slow song is paired with a nude couple hugging against a black backdrop. That’s it. If you were expecting more, you should re-listen to the song and take your concerns from there. This doesn’t come as a surprise.
