Review

M83’s "Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming" is a celestial journey through soundscapes that shimmer and pulsate like distant stars. Dropped in 2011, this sixth studio album from the French electronic magicians is an audacious double album that flirts with the cosmic and the nostalgic. Each song is a different planet, blending pop, rock, and electronic like elements in a supernova, resulting in a symphony that is both expansive and intimate. The intricate blend of energetic and emotive tracks, such as the legendary "Midnight City" and the soaring "Steve McQueen," showcases the band’s prowess in melding catchy hooks with atmospheric grandeur.

Inspired by frontman Anthony Gonzalez’s childhood and his adventures in California, the album exudes an optimism and wonder akin to gazing up at the boundless night sky. Its dreamy narrative takes you through different life stages, much like constellations evolving across the night. "Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming" not only claimed a stellar spot at number 15 on the US Billboard 200, selling over 300,000 copies but also shone bright in the galaxy of critical acclaim, earning a Best Alternative Music Album Grammy nod and cracking Pitchfork’s top albums of the decade. This masterpiece truly stands as a beacon of M83’s visionary approach to music, promising an immersive voyage through the audial cosmos. - Nova
