Arcade Fire - The Suburbs


This is the 3rd album from Canadian ensemble Arcade Fire.

It was always going to be a difficult task to follow two of the most inventive and extravagant albums of this decade - Funeral and Neon Bible - but it has been accomplished in a way that is unlike either of its predecessors. The Suburbs highlights just how impressive this band really is. Violins, xylophones, harpsichords and brass accompany guitars and drums to add depth to a truly signature Arcade Fire sound, but assembled in a way that takes you in a different direction than before, while the sincerity and craft in every track make it easy to follow and even easier to thoroughly enjoy.

The CD is available in 8 different covers, all allocated randomly. More details on the Arcade Fire website.
