Before the Dawn Heals Us

M83

A cinematic collision of shoegaze noise and synth-pop euphoria. It sounds like a high-speed chase through a neon city that ends in a slow-motion sunrise.

A high-stakes collision of nocturnal anxiety and transcendent, widescreen euphoria.

Moments Worth Listening For
The terrifying spoken-word narrative in Car Chase Terror that dissolves into a wall of white noise.
The massive, distorted drum entry halfway through Teen Angst that feels like a physical weight.
The slow, ten-minute orchestral ascent of the final track that feels like a sunrise after a long night.
