M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
:: November 1, 2011 :: by Karly Gombert
M83’s new album is experimental ambience spread across two discs of complete mind- numbing transience. Anthony Gonzalez leaves no road untraveled in their newest release Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. The two-disc set really comes across as an adventure, with the first five tracks really projecting a strong, upbeat excitement. This focus fades into softer, drawn out pieces that really delve into all the experimentation shoegaze is capable of producing.
Tracks like “Another Wave from You” and “Intro” from Disc 1, really convey the feelings behind the music as the sound speaks sans vocals.
“Midnight City” is a really fun track, showcasing M83’s abilities to the fullest by alternating well between strong instrumentals and vocal distortion.
Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is exactly what it sounds like, throwing the listener headfirst into the world of M83’s very uninhibited dreams and fantasies.
Overall, the experience is enjoyable, but don’t be afraid to fall down this rabbit hole for yourself. Take the plunge, you might like what you find.
