M83 has made a career off making music that heavily appears to the youth of the world. From the Hurry Up We're Dreaming album, they put together a quadrilogy of music videos about a group of super powered children. From the album Youth = Weekend, we get more videos of young people witnessing an alien first contact. Heck, they contributed songs to the Divergent series, which is about the youth of a dystopia rebelling against their society. It's a marketing campaign that has worked perfectly. While attending a recent concert in Phoenix, it's pretty astounding to see so many young fans for a group that has been making music for 20 years.
Anyway, this video is far more abstract and thus doesn't have an interesting artistic narrative. Instead we get three youths running into a strange world of imagery and color, experiencing euphoria, pain and self examination. All the while, some omniscient being is watching them, most likely seeking explanation to their actions. Either way, a great song off the new album Fantasy, to say the least.
