(Merge, 2007)
"I walked down to the ocean after waking from a nightmare"
Discovery: See previous entry.
Result: Neon Bible gets its name from the fantastic book by John Kennedy Toole, definitely a recommended read. I would say most of my love for The Arcade Fire comes from watching them live. That being said, I love listening to this album, especially when I'm in a mellow and contemplative mood. Recorded in an old church the band bought and renovated, the strings, horns, haunting vocals layered with pretty backups and medley of instruments and sounds mean this album achieves the epic proportions it aspires to.
Stand-out Tracks: "Black Mirror", "(Antichrist Television Blues)", "My Body is a Cage"
