Zane Lowe played both of those new Arcade Fire songs that the band has been hinting at for a little while now. As expected, someone got a radio rip, and the mp3s have leaked online.
Hear are my thoughts so far:
“The Suburbs” is a beautiful song that features a sunny melody. The band is in their top form. Win’s voice sounds great. That echoing guitar is breathtaking. Then we got “Month Of May”. It sounds like nothing that the band has done before. Certainly their heaviest sounding song to date. It’s almost like the band was living with Josh Homme and the rest of Queens Of The Stone Age for a few months and came out with “Month Of May”. It features distorted guitars/vocals from Win Butler.
The Suburbs sounds like the Arcade Fire of old, just more experienced and tight. Month Of May is Arcade Fire experimenting, and am digging it. I expect that some most people aren’t going to like it at first, but in time, they will grow to like it. Just watch.
