NEW VINYL LP ON MERCURY 2011 2 X 180 GRAM VINYL. The last year has been an eventful one for The Arcade Fire. In June 2003, Régine’s grandmother Nancy died; in August, Win and Régine were married; in September, the Arcade Fire started recording their debut album. In March 2004, Win and Will’s grandfather Alvino Rey died; Richard Parry’s Aunt Betsy passed away in April; in May 2004 the Arcade Fire were signed to Merge Records, and completed their album. It having been something of a heavy hitting year, the band’s minds were somewhat a-whirl. The deaths of Nancy , Alvino and Betsy brought to mind all the people they had loved who had died: they decided to call their newly completed album Funeral. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire Tracklist The Suburbs 5:14Ready To Start 4:15Modern Man 4:39Rococo 3:56Empty Room 2:51City With No Children 3:11Half Light I 4:15Half Light II (No Celebration) 4:25Suburban War 4:45Month Of May 3:50Wasted Hours 3:20Deep Blue 4:28We Used To Wait 5:01Sprawl I (Flatland) 2:54Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) 5:25The Suburbs (Continued) 1:27
