M83 are an electronic/ dream pop group founded in 2001 by musician Anthony Gonzalez. To date, they have released six albums, their most recent one being Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. It can only be best described as a shoe gaze, 1980's reminiscent, electronic joy. When asked about the direction of the album, Gonzalez said "It's a double album. It's mainly about dreams, how every one is different, how you dream differently when you're a kid, a teenager, or an adult. I'm really proud of it. If you're doing a very long album, all the songs need to be different and I think I've done that with this one." Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming includes collaborations with Justin Meldal-Johnsen (tour bassist of Nine Inch Nails and bassist for Beck, and produced the albu,), Zola Jesus, members of Medicine, etc. The album drops officially on October 18th through Mute Records.
M83 will be touring North America starting October 15th, starting in Mexico City and will be in Austin on November 5th for Fun Fun Fun Fest. You can stream the new album on Urban Outfitters Music site here. The album is a good listen and it's also available for free download!
