However, it was actually released in 2005 after the song Cold Wind (@Kaleigh) was used on Six-Feet Under. This places the song in the post-Funeral era. Also, it rules. For those interested, the EP is OOP (vinyl nerd term for Out of Press) but easily available online for cheap. I find that rougher songs sound better on vinyl and thus encourage any Arcade Fire enthusiasts to find the EP on beautifully clear wax.

Hardcore. But seriously, isn't a bunch of people with tambourines, doing nothing but facing into a mirror a hilarious image? Kaleigh, I'm definitely in the process of checking that track out. Thanks for the tip! Ahl, you definitely clowned me. Hardcore. But seriously, isn’t a bunch of people with tambourines, doing nothing but facing into a mirror a hilarious image?

Kaleigh, I’m definitely in the process of checking that track out. Thanks for the tip!

I believe there were only 4 people in the band during that time. ” The band has at least seven people in it; you wonder what they were all doing during these recordings besides pretending to play the tambourine.”

I can totally relate to your experience with them. I was actually listening to Funeral today, and so was surprised when I saw your blog. Funeral is just a level of beauty and complexity that they may never match. I do like Neon Bible, but I agree that it doesn't pack the same punch as Funeral. One song I have since discovered (in a similar quest for moving Arcade Fire) is Cold Wind. I definitely recommend you check it out. I love Arcade Fire the same way.
