80's worship/electronica/dreampop. gloriously lavish, and unabashedly huge. hurry up, we're dreaming is without a doubt the most epically ambitious release of the year, and manages to dwarf most of its competition. Not only does midnight city somehow manage to capture the essence of the entire year with the most bizarre dance-worthy honking i've ever heard, but the entire release itself feels like the perfect musical representation of 2011. |
