Background and recording

Hurry Up, We're Dreaming was first teased on June 23, 2011 in a Youtube video titled "Echoes..." The video also announced North American tour dates.[5][6] On October 10, 2011, the album was streamed in its entirety on the Urban Outfitters website.[7] Urban Outfitters also hosted a simultaneous listening party at all of its store the Saturday before Hurry Up, We're Dreaming's release.[8]

Prior to recording Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, Anthony Gonzalez had moved from his native France to Los Angeles. Gonzalez cited road trips to Joshua Tree National Park as a big influence on the album. Gonzalez decided to make the album a double album because he enjoyed the ambitiousness of albums such as Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. In addition, Gonzalez described the two discs as brother and sister, with each track having a sibling on the other disc.[9]

Anthony Gonzalez described the album's sound as a mix between the synth-pop of Saturdays = Youth and the more ambient work of Before the Dawn Heals Us.[10] Additionally, the album uses instruments not found on previous M83 albums, such as acoustic guitar and saxophone.[11] Hurry Up, We're Dreaming also features contributions from Medicine's Brad Laner and Zola Jesus.[10]

In an interview with Spin, Gonzalez said of Hurry Up, We're Dreaming: "It's mainly about dreams, how every one is different, how you dream differently when you're a kid, a teenager, or an adult. I'm really proud of it. If you're doing a very long album, all the songs need to be different and I think I've done that with this one."[10] In an interview with musicOMH, Gonzalez called the album "a reflection of my 30 years as a human being" and something he dedicated to himself.[12]
