Written, arranged, performed and produced by the
Arcade Fire and co-produced by Markus Dravs, The
Suburbs was recorded around Montreal and New
York over the past two years.

Montreal's Arcade Fire brings a theatricality, an intensity, an insanity, and a penchant for amazing hooks to their debut full-length. You've never heard such energy, beauty, and emotion from such a young band. Fans of Neutral Milk Hotel, Broken Social Scene, and Roxy Music's first two albums will have a new favorite band.

The second album from Montreal's Arcade Fire exceeds all expectations. With string and orchestral arrangements by two of the band members, "Neon Bible" is full of both half-assed punk rock mistakes and meticulously orchestrated woodwinds. Processed strings and mandolin. Quiet rumbles and loud rumbles. But mostly just eleven songs that the band thinks are really good.

Recorded on a budget, The EP established Arcade Fire before they were signed. Features the 7 tracks 'Old Flame', 'I'm Sleeping In A Submarine', 'No Cars Go', 'The Woodland National Anthem', 'My Heart Is An Apple', 'Headlight Look Like Diamonds' & 'Vampires Forest Fire'. Rough Trade. 2005.
