Shit.
This album is so good that it brings those emoting, overpowering, bliss-enduced tears to my eyes, like, the ones that have no choice but to fall. I have such finicky musical taste, that I can rarely listen to an entire album all the way through, but this masterpiece of new-age, shoegazing, foreign, mystical, electric-goodness is worthy of the title “amazing.” Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is the sixth studio album from French electronic band, M83. Highlights? Every song, but for your sake:
- Midnight City
- Wait
- Claudia Lewis
- Soon, My Friend
- Splendor
What Music Looks Like.
“Like a 3-D take on Jackson Pollock, the latest work by Klimas begins with splatters of paint positioned on a scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. Then the volume is turned up. For each image, Klimas selects music—typically something dynamic and percussive, like Stockhausen, Miles Davis or Kraftwerk—and the vibration of the speaker sends the paint aloft in patterns that reveal themselves through the lens of his camera.” - Martin Klimas -
