I had M83’s `Midnight City’ stuck in my head all day. Literally from dawn until dusk. On repeat. So when I finished work today the first thing I did was call my local record store and asked what time they closed. I then raced over and picked up a copy of their new album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.

I haven’t been this excited about an album in a long time, and this isn’t your average album either, this is a two disc album of 22 tracks. That’s massive. I haven’t even had the time to listen to it the whole way through yet. I can’t wait to put on my headphones and fall asleep while listening to it tonight.

Every time I listen to M83 I feel like I’ve been transported into a dream. Their music has this surreal quality about it that washes over you like a gentle summer breeze. It’s nostalgic and faraway yet warm and inviting at the same time.

I can’t wait to see them at St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival next year.
