M83 has unveiled a new video for “Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun” from Before the Dawn Heals Us to celebrate forthcoming reissues of early albums and remixes. The visual journey captures the spirit of M83’s music perfectly, leaving viewers awe-struck and inspired. Watch the video, created to screen at M83’s Hollywood Bowl show in September 2013, below.

Four years on from the release of Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, French electronic act M83 re-issues their first three albums in addition to two digital EPs featuring remixes and B-sides from those albums. After several years of being out of print, M83 (2001), Dead Cities, Red Seas, and Lost Ghosts (2004), and Before the Dawn Heals Us (2005) will be released August 25th, 2014 on CD, vinyl, and digital download via Mute. Dead Cities, Red Seas and Lost Ghosts Remixes and B-sides and Before The Dawn Heals Us Remixes and B-Sides will be available digitally September 9, 2014 on Mute.

M83 has become a household name amongst music lovers due to extensive success across many formats. Since Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, not only has M83’s Anthony Gonzalez scored two films: Oblivion (featuring Tom Cruise) and You and the Night (directed by his brother Yann Gonzalez.

Now, after being unavailable for the past several years, fans can access M83’s organic beginnings:

Aptly titled M83, this album served as the French electropop outfit’s debut release in 2001 on Gooom. Recorded as a duo by founding members Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau. The track names can be read in order to describe a boy/girl meeting at a party. Taken in tow with the sampled movie dialogue throughout, the album serves as a poignant soundtrack for the simplest of scenarios.
