The Arcade Fire Recording

[Jared Kaufman]

The Arcade Fire (http://www.arcadefire.com) will begin recording their new album this month. They bought a church and converted it into a studio for the process. It appears we'll have to wait until fall for the release, though.

This is definitely, no doubt about it, one of my most anticipated for next year. Funerals is one of my favorite albums of all time.

[FeynmanWannabe]

Sounds good to me. I agree, Funeral was such a great album.

WTF, they bought a church and turned it into a studio? Hahaha that's awesome.

I downloaded a concert that they performed in Amsterdam. It was done inside of an old church and the acoustics were fucking incredible. It's no wonder that after hearing that they decided to record their next album in the same type of setting. I recommend anyone to look for it online since I don't think it's in any music stores.

[DieForAlgernon]

i wonder what deity was worshiped there.

[poppa Q]

Glad to hear that they're getting started, but I'm slightly disappointed it won't be out until Fall.

Funeral is one of my top 5 records of the year, and considering that was a debut LP, I expect great things........

[chordlessheart]

hey anybody know what happened to the tour dates that were announced for arcade fire? I guess I live under a rock but I was pretty excited awhile back when I heard about taf coming to houston.
