Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming

M83

A sprawling double-album epic of neon-lit synth-pop. Shimmering walls of sound capture the massive, uncontainable emotions of childhood and late-night cityscapes.

It's like the best 80s movie you've never seen, but it's happening inside your head at 2 AM.

A relentless surge of nostalgic euphoria balanced by moments of quiet, cosmic loneliness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive distorted saxophone solo that rips through the climax of Midnight City.
The transition from the hushed, intimate piano of Wait into the overwhelming orchestral synth swell.
A child's voice narrating a psychedelic story about frogs over a playful, driving beat in Raconte-moi une histoire.
