Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire

Seven tracks of unpolished, suburban indie rock. Rawer and more intimate than their later work, capturing a band finding its voice in the Montreal cold.

June 15, 2003 · Sony Music CG

A jittery, unpolished collection of suburban ghost stories and desperate escapes.

Moments Worth Listening For
the primitive, driving accordion and group shouting on the original version of No Cars Go
the sudden shift from delicate piano to the desperate, building intensity of Vampire/Forest Fire
the way the vocals crack and strain during the final repetitions of Old Flame
