Which indie rock band released the 2011 album 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming'?

The story behind the answer

M83 released the 2011 album 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming'. It is the sixth studio album by the French electronic music band M83 and was released on October 18, 2011.

Led by Anthony Gonzalez, the project was conceived as M83's first full double album. Gonzalez described its two discs as siblings, with songs on one disc having counterparts on the other. The album grew from ideas about childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and the different ways people dream at different stages of life.

Its best-known track, 'Midnight City', became M83's breakthrough song and helped bring the band's cinematic synth-pop to a much wider audience. The album also features contributions from Brad Laner of Medicine and Zola Jesus. It was recorded in Los Angeles and at M83's studio in Antibes, France, and reached number 15 on the US Billboard 200, then the group's highest chart position.
