Home / Alternative & Indie / Funeral
A grand, cathartic debut about grief and neighbourhood memory that helped define 2000s indie. The arrangements swell and crest with real emotion. One of the decade's most beloved records. Released in 2004, it's an early landmark for Arcade Fire.
On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
