M83 has been gone for a minute, but is on one once again: today, the band dropped the first single “Midnight City” from their forthcoming double LP, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, due out October 18 on Mute Records. Infusing their traditionally head-in-the-sky electronica with an entire bottle of Aquanet, the similarities to Depeche Mode a la Violator are uncanny. Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is to be supported by a massive North American tour, the first one since late 2008. More M83 love and tickets can be found here.
