Arcade Fire - Funeral
Download:
Funeral is the debut full-length album by Canadian rock band Arcade Fire, released on September 14, 2004 on Merge Records. It was given its title because several band members had recently lost members of their families: R?gine Chassagne’s grandmother died in June 2003, Win and William Butler’s grandfather (swing musician Alvino Rey) in March 2004, and Richard Reed Parry’s aunt in April 2004.
Preliminary recordings for Funeral were made during the course of a week in August 2003 at the Hotel2Tango in Montreal, Quebec, and the recording was completed later that year.
The album produced 5 singles. The most successful, “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)”, peaked at #26 on the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for two weeks. The album received wide critical acclaim and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best Alternative Music Album. It was ranked eighth in Bob Mersereau’s 2007 book The Top 100 Canadian Albums.
