Teen Angst

Making really good music videos is a lost art these days. You'll be hard pressed to find an artist/record company that takes the time to capture so perfectly in video the true essence of a song. Long gone are the days of "Thriller" or a "Buddy Holly". And I'm not talking about spending big budgets per se. Fortunately, M83 (a.k.a Anthony Gonzalez) is here to save the day. As I mentioned a couple of months ago in my review of Saturdays = Youth, this record is a virtual homage to the 80's. Gonzalez really captures this spirit in the new video for the album's third single/best song, "Kim & Jessie". Here's the clip: M83 - Kim & Jessie


By the way, M83 plays Webster Hall November 14th. Tickets are still not sold out.
