Some mornings you wake up to great news that can carry you for the rest of the day until your landlord shows up and demands this month’s rent. Today just happened to be such a day.
As of 10 a.m. EST, pre-sales of the forthcoming Arcade Fire tour have gone live through their website. For those who have been able to listen to the new singles (available for a spin here and on their website), it sounds like another exceptional album. The Suburbs’ title track permeates with dystopian melancholy, while ‘Month of May’ channels a powerful punk core and is infused with their recognizable sense of urgency. They kick-off their tour next week in Quebec before hitting the summer festival circuit in North America and Europe, with a few scattered shows with Spoon in between.
