Long overdue repress of M83’s 2012 album.

M83 announces the highly anticipated new album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming released on 17 October 2011, through Naïve. After the release of 2008’s acclaimed album Saturdays = Youth which hit many end of year lists including Mojo and Drowned In Sound who made it their number one album that year, M83 (aka Anthony Gonzalez) will release his epic new double album, produced by Justin Meldal-Johnson (Beck, NIN, The Mars Volta, Goldfrapp) and including contributions from Zola Jesus, Brad Laner (from 90’s band Medicine) on guitar, and Saturdays = Youth vocalist Morgan Kibby.

Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming tackles themes of awakening, craving, and conquering, and delves into new vocal territory for M83. “I think it is a reflection of my 30 years of being a human being. It’s a compilation of all my previous music together. It’s a retrospective of myself”, says Gonzalez.

Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is a sprawling double album that reaffirms M83’s dreamy romanticism while setting off for bold new territory. Gonzalez collaborated with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Medicine’s Brad Laner, Zola Jesus, and longtime vocalist Morgan Kibby, allowing him to explore as many musical options as possible. Lead single “Midnight City” is an epic sweep of neon synthesizers; “Intro” makes a bold statement with Zola Jesus’ vocal cameo; elsewhere, Gonzalez’s own singing ranges from a whisper to a scream. Unashamedly ambitious and emotional, this album defines M83’s artistic spirit.
