M83, aka Anthony Gonzalez, has made available fan favorite deep-cut "Mirror," from his beloved 2011 album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. Upon the original release of Hurry Up, "Mirror" was a hidden track found only as a secret download in the packaging of the CD, and later released as a record store day 7". Fast forward to the current day, and "Mirror" has proven an exuberant closer to the electric, cathartic live sets on the Fantasy tour throughout the year.
Speaking about the release of the track to Billboard earlier this month, Gonzalez said: "it's a track that never came out digitally and we close our shows with that song. The response of the audience has been great so far, and it's an unknown song that deserves to be properly released in my opinion." (continue)

Sully Bright just released his new album "Darling, Wake Up," and to celebrate we asked him tell us about one of the songs and he selected that track entitled "Dark". Here is the story:
The song "Dark" is one of the most special songs off the record to me. It is about my journey of struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder and learning how to overcome it. I consider the songs "Dark" and "It'll All Be Alright" a two-piece movement off of the album. The song "Dark" takes place inside of home that truly doesn't feel like one. It is about me feeling stuck and not being able to see the light. The end of the song is a hopeful climax: "Darling, wake up, what have you been hiding from? The night is over, there's better things to come." This then bursts forth into "It'll All Be Alright," a song that declares darkness is not the end of the story. (continue)
