M83 Announce London show and reveal album artwork
M83 have announced they will play a special show at London’s Heaven on December 1 and revealed the artwork for their upcoming sixth album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, which will be released on October 18 via Naïve.
Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming follows 2008’s Saturdays = Youth, and ‘Midnight City’, the first single to be taken from it, will be released on August 15, but can be downloaded for free until August 14 from here.
Anthony Gonzalez, the man behind M83 was apparently inspired to make the 22-track double album by The Beatles’ White Album, Pink Floyd’s Ummagumma and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins. Gonzales says, “Artists that tried to do something as big as a double album were always inspiring to me…It’s a lot of work, but I always wanted to achieve something like that one day, and I just felt that the time was right for me to make one.”
The upcoming album will also include contributions from Zola Jesus, Brad Laner (from Medicine) and Saturdays = Youth vocalist Morgan Kibby.
