M83 have always been epic since their respectful emergence at the fore-front of both the shoe gaze revival (delightfully coined nu-gaze) and French Electro scenes. On their new album however, they don’t just sound big, they sound HUGE! Hurry Up We’re Dreaming is a sprawling twenty two track long double album, with Intro (surprisingly) launching their magnum opus. With further contribution from Zola Jesus (new Elizabeth Fraser anyone?), this may be the introduction to my album of the year.
