Description
M83: Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP
M83’s grandiose double album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming repressed on double colored vinyl! The lead single, “Midnight City,” immediately stands out, with the synth-heavy and upbeat instrumental laying down the foundation for Alex Gonzalez’s lightly flowing vocals. “My Tears Are Becoming A Sea” is highlighted by the soothing intro as well as the way the track progresses into a grand, synth-washed affair, with “OK Pal” marking another exhilarating synth-pop moment. The beautiful “Splendor” is meditative and emotive, followed by “Raconte-Moi Une Histoire” which, while maintaining the shimmer of “Splendor,” picks up the tempo of the album. Other notable tracks include the acoustic guitar-driven “Soon, My Friend,” the folksy, uptempo “Year one, One UFO,” and the intense, aggressive and shoegaze-y “This Bright Flash. All in all, Hurry Up… packs a potent, engaging, and dreamy mix of synth-pop, ambient, shoegaze, and electronica (think somewhere between Saturday = Youth and Before The Dawn Heals Us), a real treat for the ears. 24 tracks total, recommended.
