Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, M83's sixth album, arrived on 18 October 2011 through Naïve in France and Mute in the US, and Anthony Gonzalez went big: it's the project's first full double album, and it swings for the rafters. Gonzalez, the Antibes outfit's only constant and its main songwriter and singer, was at the wheel, Justin Meldal-Johnsen produced, and it was the last M83 record with keyboardist Morgan Kibby.
The sound is shoegaze haze and ambient drift poured into gleaming synth-pop, songs that feel like teenage memories played back on an enormous screen. "Midnight City" was the lead single and the breakout, a neon rush of a track that turned the project into something far bigger than a cult concern. The album debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200, the highest M83 had ever climbed, drew a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album, and later turned up on a list of the best albums of the 2010s.
