They're the U2 of indie rock.
The Suburbs was their The Joshua Tree
Reflektor their Achtung Baby
and this new record will be their Zooropa with it's apparently disco lead single and themes of technology and consumerism.

this

don't even listen to their new album it will be upsetting to say the least

>Arcade Fire
This is basic bitch-core, this even worth discussing?

t. efrim menuck

muh indie cred

>>73105814
When do they release a free album on iTunes?

>>73105890
They won't do something that bombastic since they haven't and probably will never enjoy the 30 years of large scale omnipresent mainstream success that U2 has. But they've already started doing gimmicky rollouts for their albums and they'll probably continue to get more and more ridiculous.

>>73105791
Peaked with The Suburbs, ran a victory lap with Reflektor.
Everything from here on is just going to be very disappointing.

>>73105925
they've done "gimmicky rollouts" since neon bible lmoa

>>73105941
and it will only continue

>TWO ALBUMS
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I hope we get more interactive music videos. I don't care if they're gimmicky.
The Wilderness Downtown was god-tier.

God damnit I was so close to going to bed.

I'll never get my circadian rhythm back on track.

I think Arcade Fire is trying to do a Year_Zero type ARG thingy.

aight. I'm hype.

wasnt their last album or two on an imprint of a major label anyway? nobody really thinks of arcade fire when they think independent music right?

>>73105791

all mindie artist do. earl sweatpants, MGMT, the shins. they must pay well and still allow that indie spirit.

>>73106750
None of those artists where ever legitimately independent.

And neither were Arcade Fire.

Fuck offwith your lies.

Oh no call 2007 maybe then I'd give a fuck.

>>73106787
what is sub pop

kys kid.

>>73106422
everyone at merge went to chapel hill or nc state

>>73106905
Sub Pop hasn't been an indie for a looooooong time.

>>73106998
Fathers

Merge is HIGHLY suspect

>>73105791
Arcade fire is probably the most overrated band of the last decade

>BSS
The new broken social scene seems promising so far, from the singles they've released so far. They'll always be indie as well considering the co-founder of the band is also the founder of their label.

>>73106309
of course people think indie rock when they think arcade fire. unfortunately, they're been one of the largest influences on (mostly commerical) indie music since 2004.

like the black keys spawned all the fake blues/garage rock indie bands, arcade fire spawned the whoacore indie bands.
