M83 - Run Into Flowers (Labels UK)

Run Into Flowers is the first single from French duo Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau's forthcoming debut album Dead Cities, Red Seas And Lost Ghosts.

This track sounds like a lost ghost itself, with tortured backing vocals, distressed strings and heavy, synthesised beats forming a thick backdrop to the lead vocal, which exhorts the world to give us "peace and chemicals", over and over. How French.

The track is accompanied by remixes from KG, Jackson and Abstract Keal Agram that give us chopped-up, urban variations on the Frenchmen's theme.
