M83 have announced a limited-edition reissue of Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming to celebrate the album’s 10th anniversary. The record, which will be pressed on transparent orange vinyl and comes with an alternate album cover, is due out April 15 via Mute. M83 are celebrating the news by sharing a new video for the song “My Tears Are Becoming a Sea.” Check that out below.
The “My Tears Are Becoming a Sea” video, directed by Sacha Barbin and Ryan Doubiago, follows a pregnant couple en route to the hospital who get caught in a car accident. From the womb, the child uses its superpowers to save the parents. According to the directorial duo, it’s a prequel to Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming’s video trilogy of “Midnight City,” “Reunion,” and “Wait.” “This story takes place 10 years earlier in order to highlight the first moment one of these children uses their supernatural gifts,” the directors explained in a statement. “We think that the panic created by this magnificent moment speaks to everyone.”
M83’s most recent albums, DSVII and the soundtrack to Knife + Heart, came out in 2019. See where Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming landed on Pitchfork’s list “The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s.”
