“Reunion” by M83

"Reunion" followed "Midnight City" as the second single from Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, the sixth album from French electronic outfit M83, out in the UK in February 2012. Anthony Gonzalez produced it with Justin Meldal-Johnsen, the two of them splitting keyboards, drum machines and electric guitars, with Meldal-Johnsen on bass, Loïc Maurin on drums and Morgan Kibby adding a spoken part. Tony Hoffer mixed it.

The video is the middle chapter of a trilogy that runs from "Midnight City" to "Wait": the psychic kids from the first clip are up on a warehouse roof after dark when another psychic child, back where they escaped from and wired to a machine, reaches out to the youngest of them. Her powers blow out into a pillar of light, and the shadowy organization hunting them follows it straight to the runaways. It has racked up more than 45 million YouTube views.
