« Mount Kimbie working on LP #2, playing SXSW, and touring with Holy Other (dates) | Big Boi announces a North American tour with Killer Mike, including Brooklyn Bowl and Prospect Park »

Now that they've finally stopped touring Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, M83 have fully committed to their next project -- scoring the upcoming Tom Cruise sci-fi flick, Obvlivion. The film is the second feature by Joseph Kosinski who clearly has a thing for French electronic music, as his feature debut, TRON Legacy, was scored by Daft Punk. As for the plot, here's the gist:
On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one man's confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.Rolling Stone premiered "StarWaves," a track from M83's score, and you can stream it below. Like Daft Punk's TRON, it sounds like M83 but is very much a movie score. The soundtrack is out April 19 and the film is out April 26. Listen to "StarWaves (and watch the film's trailer) below.

Damn I get such visions of the amazing Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack from these guys. Can't wait.

Maybe Tom will finally see the mothership he's been waiting for. At least in fiction.
