The Suburbs

The Arcade Fire's album "The Suburbs" on CD comes in 8 different covers. The allocation of the cover is completely random. Having released two of the most inventive and musically extravagant records of the noughties - 'Funeral' and 'Neon Bible' - Canadian ensemble Arcade Fire create a concept and sound that represents their personal upbringing (in the suburbs)for their third outing 'The Suburbs'. Frontman Win Butler'svocal lines are smoother than before and given weight by a looming sense of darkness, while co-vocalist Regine gives balance to Arcade Fire's music with an added feeling of wonderrunning through her work. As with their earlier material, violins, harpsichords and xylophones, among other instruments, accompany guitars and drums to add depth to a superb indierock sound.
