In 2010, Arcade Fire surprised everyone with The Suburbs. This third studio album was released in a Deluxe edition with two previously unreleased tracks: Culture War and Speaking In Tongues. Although the Canadian band caught the attention of audiences in the early 2000s with a slightly dark first album (Funeral), they avoided locking themselves into this macabre atmosphere. The Suburbs offer much different colours, as Win Butler went through his predecessors’ records to get inspired by influences ready to be modernised. With great affection for music rich in instrumentals and an undeniable gift for highlighting different musical phrases, The Suburbs marked a turning point. Arcade Fire matured, without turning to elitist and inaccessible music. Proof that their pop-coloured rock has far surpassed what their early days might have suggested. There is an English quality to their style, in the vein of Paul Weller or David Bowie, but also elements from T-Rex’s glam rock, particularly in the lyrics and the energy Butler brings. Rococo or Ready To Start look at childhood and give credit to what we may have experienced and thought in our younger years… Are Arcade Fire a little nostalgic of the good old days? It’s often what happens when one takes a new maturity leap and looks back to compare the past with the present. This Deluxe edition offers an arranged version of Wasted Hours and a cover of the Talking Heads’ Speaking In Tongues with David Byrne under the influence. An album inspired by the Butler brothers’ youth that will make you want to watch a Spike Jonze short, Scenes From The Suburbs, made for the first version of The Suburbs in 2011. © Clara Bismuth/Qobuz
