Arcade Fire Tease ?Contemporary Classics? Via Megaphone, YouTube
Tuesday, 09 January 2007
With thiz mock-umercial, The Arcade Fire prove they have both a sense of humor?and a Juno Award! The Canadian indie outfit literally goes commercial with thiz tongue-in-cheek and scary-mask-sporting, Richard Reed Perry-delivered introduction to their new album, Neon Bible. The CD’s scheduled to hit stores March 6th, but you can get a ?70s-style sampling of a few new songs (and the full tracklist, which appears after the jump), introduced by a motionless (and oddly mouthless) Perry who?s seated with a megaphone in one hand and his Juno in the other. And though it’s not nearly enough to judge, we’ll all be doing so anyway. How do these songlets sound to you?
