I'm obsessed with M83"s Midnight City. Where do I go from here?

Please dont.
M83 good. Chvrurvures is liquid shit
My advice is to go into new retro wave.
M83 isn't really that but they share some vibes.
Try The Midnight, FM-84, Starcadian

The best part about this is when I discovered the song I was at a party with young people. And when I asked who did this song they said "m83 you old fuck." I was okay with it.
Edit: that was 8 years ago.

Older M83 is incredible. Midnight City is really a great pop song but they have tons of amazing tracks in their older albums.
It gets more ambient/shoegazey as you go back (which I like) so be ready for a pretty jarring shift if you're expecting pop tunes out it.

You sir have stumbled upon the GOAT of that whole
late 2000's early 2010's synth pop indie movement. I wish I could return to such marvelous times of discovery.
Keep digging into M83. Dude is pure talent. Saturdays = Youth is another great album. Colors, We Own the Sky and Skin of the Night are classics.
Similar vibes from the same time period:
The Naked and Famous - Punching in a Dream
Neon Indian- Polish Girl
The Drive album might interest you. A Real Hero by Electric Youth and Nightcall by Kavinsky are ones to check out.
Also The Knife - Heartbeats

Check out Body of Light. Their newest record Time to Kill is fantastic. Particularly the title track.
M83 was kind of a bridge into goth and Synthpop.
Admittedly I have a hard time going back to them now, but I feel like there's some overlap. Oh, and Bear's Den's Red Earth and Pouring Rain should scratch that itch too. They're ordinarily a folk band, but they dipped hard into that 80s synth for an album.

Yup. I really really like Oblivion, and i listen to the Soundtrack by M83 on a regular basis.

Maybe Justice. This song has a somewhat similar atmosphere but their entire discography is amazing.
This song scratches the exact same itch as Midnight City.
The worst opinion ever posted on www.resetera.com
Yep in fact just about everything by The Midnight they're amazing.
Gunship
- favorite band of the past decade, and I am absolutely smitten with M83. It's less dreamy, and more on an homage to the 80s but boy does it hit ally feels.

GUNSHIP | Band
A neon soaked late night sonic getaway drive. GUNSHIP. Cinematic synthwave.

Junk is soo good and under-rated.
Another song from that album that isn't as close to Midnight City as Road Blaster or Walkaway Blues but it just *incredible* from that album is Solitude
Too bad resetera posts are in text form, cause otherwise I could reply in a comically high pitched squeal (not quite unlike a pig). To get the idea I'm going for, listen to any Chvrccrhruuchshhs song!
Saturdays = Youth for another M83 album
The Midnight
Drab Majesty
St. Lucia
For bands that tap into a similar sound, depending on what specifically you like about Midnight City, but they're all great.

no joke, they played a free concert almost in my backyard in a nearby small park in 2008, kinda just wandered in with my gf heh. good memories.
it was supremely weird because i live a rather small city in Finland and we almost NEVER get any interesting artists here. it was some "new music" free all ages festival organized by the city, bunch of random artists i've forgot besides M83.

super old compared to midnight city, but i felt like this was in the same wheelhouse:
the faunts from mass effect 1 and 3 had that same kind of mood for me
also naked and famous was already posted, but all of this is my second favorite song off passive me aggressive you for the part in the middle that contains the title

Not only is Hurry Up, We're Dreaming distilled nostalgia in musical form, but I now even have actual nostalgia for it (that and Graduation take me back to a time like no other).
But yeah, first thing should just be to listen to the rest of M83. Glad to see the Junk love here (even if it still isn't their best), always really liked Go! (especially with that Steve Vai guitar solo)
This gives me some major VHS or Beta vibes. Now it's time to fall down a late night music rabbit hole.

Big Black Delta (who are also awesome by the way) did a remix that's kinda the antithesis of the original, but deserves some love.
edit: a remix of "midnight city". Hope you like the sax!

Watch this live version from Fallon. When the sax comes in <3
And yes, if you dig this song, absolutely listen to Saturdays=Youth

I was obsessed with this one a couple off month ago, it's so good.
I would say that the rest of that album is worth it (if not superior) altogether. But it's Dreamwave, don't expect something as poppy as Midnight City. The rest of their production has ups and downs but I like it, some could even be synthwave soundtracks for games.
I would try Metronomy if you haven't gone that way yet.
