In the unlikely case you missed the unveiling of M83‘s new track ‘Midnight City‘ here is the first taste of Anthony Gonzalez‘s upcoming double album ‘Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming‘.
In my mind, this represents an excellent union between the French touch and 80’s synth-pop of the quality kind (think Talk Talk).
The use of the vocoder reminds me of Air‘s lyrical delivery although if I had to find a slight blemish I would say the boat has not been pushed far from the sound of ‘Kim & Jessie‘ from the previous album. Obviously, thats me being nitpicky and as we watch the track blows up all over the internet you have got to say this is one kick-ass single.
Catch Monsieur Gonzalez on an extensive North American tour in October and November. ‘Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming‘ is out on October 18, 2011.
