Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

A gothic, orchestral expansion of indie rock recorded in a church. Massive pipe organs and choral arrangements meet themes of modern paranoia and spiritual dread.

It's like a rock concert held in a haunted cathedral during a thunderstorm.

A heavy, reverberant sense of spiritual and cultural dread met with orchestral defiance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The thunderous entry of the pipe organ on Intervention that turns a folk song into a gothic mass.
The frantic, breathless build of No Cars Go where the choir and strings reach a fever pitch.
The sudden, bone-shaking drum explosion at the climax of My Body Is a Cage.
