M83, the brainchild of musician Anthony Gonzalez shares a new video for “My Tears Are Becoming A Sea.”
A standout track from M83’s GRAMMY-nominated 2011 double album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, the video for “My Tears Are Becoming A Sea” is a prequel to the record’s magical and captivating video trilogy comprised of “Midnight City,” “Reunion,” and “Wait.”
The initial trilogy chronicled the adventures of supernatural children on the run from forces wishing to capture them in order to study their powers. This new video is directed by Sacha Barbin and Ryan Doubiago and produced by Division.
Alongside today’s video launch, M83 and Mute are pleased to announce the impending release of a limited 10th-anniversary transparent orange vinyl edition of Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. This new pressing showcases cover artwork captured once again by Anouck Bertin. The distinct concept of the 2011 album cover is rooted in Robert Plutchik’s wheel of emotions and childhood. With this new artwork, the album matures into adolescence with a warm color palette utilizing yellows, oranges, soft reds, and blush. The original cover stars, Kimona and Cormac, return to a revamped imagining of the now-iconic mise-en-scène. The abundant stuffed animals in the initial cover art have now been reduced in number and replaced by totems of one’s teenage years: sports memorabilia, vinyl records, and scientific models.
