Since their formation in the early 2000’s, rock orchestra Arcade Fire has seen a lot of the world, gone through many transformations and has even campaigned for President Barack Obama during his 2008 election bid. From their first, hit full-length Funeral (2004) to their anthem-filled release Neon Bible (2006), they’ve risen to a status far beyond what any “indie” band could have imagined. This week they will release their third record entitled The Suburbs. This album is a bit of a departure from their normal pallet of musical colors. While maintaining a driven, anthem-like song writing mold (which works perfectly for their aesthetic), they’ve also introduced many new elements to their sonic arsenal. This song, called City With No Children, builds on a familiar atmosphere for the band, and climaxes into a cacophony of new arena filled harmony, resembling Springsteen or The Clash. The Suburbs is out today in the UK and tomorrow (8/3) in the US and Canada.

They’re just disgustingly good.
