Funeral (2004)

Buy from Amazon.com

This is debut full-length album from Montreal's indie band Arcade Fire, which was formed in 2003. Arcade Fire is fronted by the husband-and-wife team of Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. They recruited more than 10 musicians for creating the original Funeral's sound palette: accordions, xylophones and lots of string instruments give the auspicious sound to this album. So, the question you might ask is "Will I like this album?". If you like indie pop music or artists like David Bowie and Brian Eno, who combine art-rock with dance beats, I think this album will give you more than 40 minutes of the pleasant music. Also I think that "Funeral" is good enough for debut work and I hope the following Arcade Fire's efforts will not disappoint you and me.
