The swirling, spiraling “Midnight City” is our first taste of M83′s forthcoming double album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (10/18, Mute). The record was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, NIN, The Mars Volta, Goldfrapp) and features Medicine’s Brad Laner on guitar, Saturdays=Youth vocalist Morgan Kibby, and a guest vocal spot from Zola Jesus. Gonzalez had this to say about it: “I think it is a reflection of my 30 years of being a human being. It’s a compilation of all my previous music together. It’s a retrospective of myself.”

I think you guys may have ended that “song of the summer” contest a little too early. Woah!

Hey man nice snark, did you pick that up at Kensington’s snark sale this past weekend? It was amazeballs and won all of the internets, lulz!
HOLYHOLYSHITSHIT
OMG Saxophone!!!
22 m83 tracks? shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Sax outro = strike up the 80′s soap opera intro montage!!! (in the best way possible)
title extremely similar to shut up, i am dreaming?
I couldn’t shake that feeling either.
I’ll take that as a positive. Shut Up, I am Dreaming is the most underrated album of the last 15 years.

you know what? i fucking LOVE this song now.

Song makes me want album now.
NOW.
When did sax get popular again? Is it because of Destroyer? Amazing song by the way. Great choice for first single.
Sounds like someone didn’t listen to enough Day & Age!
(Haha, just kidding!)
Yeah it was Destroyer’s Kaputt. Guilty as charged ^_^
Best. Summer. Song. Ever.
I’m guessing sax solos will be in about half of my top 50 of 2011.
This is so good! Gawd!
i know everyones diggin this as much as i am ! <3 right? :]
I love the song, but what the holy hell is that thing on the album cover?
just go with it.
penis nose
Your penis must look much more like an elephant trunk than mine does.
Best single i’ve heard from someone in a long time, life long M83 fan so i’m really siked about the instrumental parts of the album. I wanted to post a song i been working on and I have a bunch of free music if you wanna stag them, it would be great to hear some feedback. Long live M83 by the way.
