After three years of their first album, they returned, the Arcade Fire, Canadian seven piece ensemble. Their previous work, Funeral, was reported for the original composition, sound and catchy indie, beautiful lyrics, sung in the particularity of the English and French ... Funeral is a fantastic album, with memorable pieces, but it takes a capacity still bitter (perhaps for this very charming).
The new album, Neon Bible , marks an evolution ... the music is partly changed, have become more complex and "full." The young Arcade Fire churn out a masterpiece, an album compact, monolithic, fully mature. There is thus confronted with blues ballads, with reminiscences of new wave, strong links with Springsteen and David Bowie ... The pieces are all nice, you do hear from the start. The first track, Black Mirror , it is very beautiful. A track about how difficult and seemingly Neon Bible, which gives the title track is really nice. After the first few plays, one gets the impression that the album grows more and more, to arrive at key junctions. One would expect then a decline, but you are then faced with even more beautiful pieces. Thus, at the end of the album, after a piece tascinante, sad and distressing as (Antichrist Television Blues) , listen in a row and Windowsill No Cars Go to arrive at the discharge of the blues My Body is a Cage .
Not everyone can join in a solid instruments as varied as the church organ, whole choirs ...
A special note for the lyrics, teetering between words of hope, doubt, anger, horror of war ... Also the beautiful packaging of the album ...
A short work by listening loop.
July 11, held in Ferrara, the only Italian date of their tour.
