However, on Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, he doesn’t use that extra space to top the widescreen nostalgia of Saturdays = Youth; instead, he fills it with songs that cover more sounds and moods than any of M83s previous work, resulting in impressionistic moments that add up to a grand statement. The album begins with two songs that reaffirm Gonzalezs flair for the unapologetically epic. He recruits Zola Jesus for Intro, and her unusual mix of frostbitten edge and vulnerable warmth is a perfect conduit for the huge emotions Gonzalez favors. With its sleek neon tones, Midnight City shows just how far hes traveled from Saturdays = Youths ornate sound. He goes even farther afield with the tender piano instrumental Where the Boats Go; Raconte-Moi Un Histoire, where a child imagines a world where everyone turns into jungle frogs over bouncy synths and guitars; and Soon, My Friend, which ends the albums first half with symphonic grandeur and Beach Boys harmonies. On its second half, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming sounds more traditionally M83, from the triumphant yet heartbroken My Tears Are Becoming a Sea to the thrilling rush of New Map and Steve McQueen. Despite the albums sprawl, Gonzalez holds everything together with wide-eyed enthusiasm. He handles most of the vocals here, singing with a yelp that evokes Howard Jones on Reunion and OK Pal -- and while this album is as indebted to the 80s as his previous album was, it somehow feels less steeped in nostalgia. Gonzalez displays his uncanny knack for making unfashionable sounds fresh again with Claudia Lewis un-ironic slap bass and Splendors children’s choir; it takes guts to use these sounds, and brains to use them well, and fortunately, he has both. Unlike Saturdays = Youths wall-to-wall epics, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming ebbs and flows, with interludes like the dreamy Echoes of Mine and Klaus I Love You tipping the album’s balance toward atmosphere instead of pop songs. More than any of M83s other albums, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming feels like a destination to explore, and its retro-futuristic ambition helped set the tone for synth pop in the 2010s. ~ Heather Phares\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M83 Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52171555569953,"sku":"3700187690755","price":42.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/3700187690755.jpg?v=1766641884","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/de-de\/products\/3700187690755","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
