Arcade Fire (1 album)
I came across Arcade Fire through David Bowie, as he gave Funeral considerable praise when the Canadian band had very little international fame, calling it the year's essential album. They probably owe him a lot for their commercial success, but the music speaks for itself. The opening track sets an atmosphere unlike any other I've experienced, due to excellent musical craft, unusual arrangements and Win Butler's tense and strangled vocals. Though it is often dubbed as being "indie", it is highly eclectic, and transcends genres within single songs. There isn't a weak track on the album, which flows from the operatic to the exposed in no time at all. I generally avoid indie music, on the basis that it's almost always boring, but this album blows everything else out of the water.
