New Arcade Fire

Tons of buzz on Arcade Fire right now, coming off last week's shows in NYC and the new album Neon Bible due March 6th. I've heard a bunch of it online over the past couple of weeks, but finally got a chance to hear the full record the other day.

I expected to be solid, but it is really a great album. Even better than Funeral, I think. It somehow manages to be both dark and uplifting, no easy task.

If you haven't gotten into this band yet, check them out on SNL this Saturday. Another big reason to watch: Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute on The Office) hosts.
