arcade fire

the new album is 12 biscuits. i'm serious. the theme is clear: the suburbs. and they attack it pretty relentlessly, with judgment and contempt, but also nostalgia. i can relate. here are a couple faves after about 5 listens:

arcade fire - ready to start
arcade fire - sprawl II (mountains beyond mountains)

"sometimes i wonder if the world's so small, that we can never get away from the sprawl."

y'all git it.
