M83 – Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. (2xLP)

M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (2011) is an expansive, cinematic dream-pop epic that blends nostalgia, grandeur, and raw emotion. Spanning two discs, the album feels like a journey through childhood memories and fantastical landscapes, driven by lush synths, soaring vocals, and layered production. Midnight City is the undeniable standout, with its infectious melody and iconic saxophone solo, while tracks like Wait and Outro provide breathtaking moments of introspection. Anthony Gonzalez masterfully balances bombast (Reunion) with delicate beauty (Splendor), creating a deeply immersive experience. Ambitious and emotionally resonant, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is a modern synth-pop masterpiece.
