M83 spawn across many almost unheard of genres, including Electropop, Indietronica, Dream Pop and Shoegaze. Honeslty, I have no idea what some of these mean, but they've got to be good because Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is absolutely outstanding.
M83 never really impacted the music scene until the release of Midnight City, in my opinion the best song of the year, and coming in No. 5 spot in triple j's Hottest 100. They followed the single with this album, a piece of synth-y awesomeness.
Opening with the appropriately named Intro, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming takes you on a mystical journey with some of the best songs of the year, in the forms of Midnight City, Steve Macqueen and Reunion. I will admit, Anthony Gonzalez' bold vocals can get a bit irritating, but the rest of the instrumentals cover it up perfectly. And how can I go past the sax solo in Midnight City... What a song.
Somehow, M83 has the ability to make me want to dance... and I hate dancing.
