2011 Grammy Award Winning Album Of The Year!

Written, arranged, performed by the Arcade Fire and co-produced with Markus Dravs, 'The Suburbs' was recorded around Montreal and New York through 2009 to 2010.

Having released two of the most inventive and musically extravagant records of the noughties - 'Funeral' and 'Neon Bible' - Canadian ensemble, Arcade Fire create a concept and sound that represents their personal upbringing (in the suburbs) for their third outing 'The Suburbs'.

Frontman Win Butler's vocal lines are smoother than before and given weight by a looming sense of darkness, while co-vocalist Regine gives balance to Arcade Fire's music with an added feeling of wonder running through her work. As with their earlier material, violins, harpsichords and xylophones, among other instruments, accompany guitars and drums to add depth to a superb indie rock sound.
