This is also evident in the album's centerpiece "No Cars Go," as Arcade Fire plummets within its musical output to conjure the sweetest pop song to be released so far this year.
Arcade Fire displays a confidence in its music that is distinguishable and obvious.
The elements are all present: poppy musical hooks, breathy female vocals, quirky song breaks and structures, sweet melodies, and art-rock derivatives which really underscore why we're still so enamored with the sound of pop music.

 * Dusted Reviews - The Arcade Fire *
She’s a fine musical match for her husband, however, and part of the Arcade Fire’s grace is in the contrasting yet complementary styles the two bring to the band.
The interplay with violinist Sarah Neufeld is also lovely; her playing is never ostentatious, and it heightens the emotional impact of the songs.
Hailing from Montreal, the Arcade Fire’s Merge Records debut is impressive, but an excess of praise has been heaped upon the band by tastemakers looking to chew up and spit out the next underground icon.

Arcade Fire: I don’t write lyrics for the band, but when Win (Butler, the group’s lyricist, guitarist and singer) was typing out all the lyrics and noticed that the same words came up in a lot of the songs, he was like, “Oh, weird.
I wonder what this idea or this theme is in a lot of these songs.” And he pointed that out, ’cause I guess that [theme] runs through a lot of the songs.
What does that term mean to you, or to the band as a whole, in the context of the album?

 TrouserPress.com :: Arcade Fire
Before the band’s first year was out, the Arcade Fire signed to Merge Records and began work on a full-length album, again enlisting a number of guests.
Propping up a multi-instrumental approach with driving rhythms and rousing guitars, the band crafts engaging, exciting songs with imagination to spare, mixing a diverse set of styles into a wholly original sound.
By the time the finale, “In the Backseat,” has faded out, it’s clear that the Arcade Fire has created an album composed in sadness but radiating joy.

With Win and Régine freshly married in August 2003, and a summer's worth of rock and roll at their backs, the Arcade Fire wanted to record an album.
In June 2003, Régine's grandmother Nancy died; in August, Win and Régine were married; in September, the Arcade Fire started recording their debut album.
They persevered in the recording, though, only to discover the man that was to record them at Hotel 2 Tango studios, Howard Bilerman, was a meat-hook fisted, iron-boned drummer of a fellow.

 The Arcade Fire: Funeral (2004): Reviews
Still, that it's so easy to embrace this album's operatic proclamation of love and redemption speaks to the scope of The Arcade Fire's vision.
So long as we're unable or unwilling to fully recognize the healing aspect of embracing honest emotion in popular music, we will always approach the sincerity of an album like Funeral from a clinical distance.
With most of the songs, the payoff doesn't come right away; in some cases, it sneaks up on you after several spins.

Wolf Parade is about to embark on a tour with their bedfellows and countrymen the Arcade Fire to support Apologies to the Queen Mary, and on September 17, the band will appear at New York's Bowery Ballroom as part of the Spin-sponsored Sub Pop Records showcase during the CMJ Music Marathon.
The piano-based melodies on songs like "You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son" sound more influenced by ivory rockers like Spoon and even Ben Folds.
Then there will be the inevitable Arcade Fire comparisons, which might be harder to shake.

 The Believer - Not Enough Protection from the Song
The Arcade Fire consists of a group of startled young North American citizens who probably had little idea that Funeral, the album they created and assembled for Merge Records in 2004, would generate a storm front of such magnitude in the world of popular music.
For the live version, the band leaned out over the edge of the stage and howled the melody at the crowd, which shrank back in a lumbering wave of sweat, gristle, and threadbare vintage shirts, only to surge forward again, crying out in response.
Because so few New Englanders got to see the Arcade Fire at this show, the band scheduled a return visit in February as the final night of their tour.

And the band has also recently been named a finalist in the New Pantheon Music Award (basically what used to be the Shortlist Music Prize, the US attempt at the UK’s Mercury Prize).
I’d also like to thank the band personally for making the most inspiring and exciting music in at least the last 10+ years for me. Your music makes me feel that same youthful energy and “newness” that i had as a teenager growing up discovering music.
