Everybody already knows M83 are the gods of post-millennial neogaze or whatever it's going to be called when enough bands start copying them that a new genre needs to be coined to define it. Their ridiculously Geiss-compatible sophomore album, Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, gushed gorgeous synthstreams of consecrated treble that evoked both the purity of pastoral rurality and the firing encephalon synapses of futuristic murderdroids. It also instantly made a name for the French label Gooom, who is now offering a single for the album's most accessible track, "Run into Flowers", featuring remixes from other Gooom artists. Like these fuckin' weirdos, Abstrackt Keal Agram, who infuse the song with a gritty hip-hop edge: ominous horn blasts, organ loops, and Prefuse-esque vocal glitchouts. It's so crazy it just might work. And it does, but in the most noncompatible manner: it eventually breaks down to a minimal vocal loop and screeching guitar from the original song, somehow simulatenously violent and sublime."
