I never knew anything about M83 until 2008 when their Saturdays=Youth LP was released. Upon hearing the single "Kim & Jessie" I was intriuged by their My Bloody Valentine drony guitar and nice lush vocals from singer Anthony Gonzalez.
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is the latest work from M83. Their first double LP in which Gonzalez stated he has always wanted to make a double LP since hearing the Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness. Quite a project to take on. Gonzalez also states the writing process was done as if he were writing for an imaginary movie. As I may say, lyrically and musically I imagine this through listening to M83's music.
This album features instruments not featured on previous M83 albums such as acoustic guitar and saxaphone. But fit in quite well. This album may just go on to be one of the biggest and influential LPs of the Shoegaze/Dreampop genre. Come to think of it there aren't many.
