Description
Having released two of the most inventive and musically extravagant records of the noughties Funeral and Neon Bible Canadian ensemble Arcade Fire create a concept and sound that represents their personal upbringing (in the suburbs) for their third outing The Suburbs. Frontman Win Butlers vocal lines are smoother than before and given weight by a looming sense of darkness, while co-vocalist Regine gives balance to Arcade Fires music with an added feeling of wonder running through her work. As with their earlier material, violins, harpsichords and xylophones, among other instruments, accompany guitars and drums to add depth to a superb indie rock sound.
Produced by the Arcade Fire and co-produced by Markus Dravs, The Suburbs was written, arranged and recorded around Montreal and New York over the past two years.
Arcade Fire return to the UK this summer, headlining Reading and Leeds Festival at the end of August AND prior to that there will be only one chance to see them live at Londons Hackney Empire during July.
