Worth getting out of bed for: Arcade Fire

One of the most anticipated releases of 2007 is this second album from Montreal's Arcade Fire, the Win Butler- and Regine Chassagne-led band that won over bloggers, critics, and, ultimately, fans with their 2004 debut 'Funeral.' Packed full of wonderous melodies serve with a heavy dose of drama, ‘Funeral’ was one of those albums you discover without a lot of wild crazy “These guys are the best thing since seared tuna” fan fare. And you can still feel smug and pretentious about liking them still because most of the constant radio listening population will not have yet discovered them. The ‘COOL’ factor is still in tacked. Their follow up ‘Neon Bible’ looks to follow, if not best it’s predecessor.

Here are a selection of tracks from ‘Funeral’ (Jeremy, you will like the last one)
Rebellion (Lies)
Wake Up
Neighborhood No. 1 (Tunnels)
Neighborhood No. 3 (Power Out)
