ARCADE FIRE.

Arcade Fire often makes a song grow from a single voice into an entire ensemble. Guitars, keyboards, and rhythms pile up into a chorus that seems to be carried collectively.

Funeral lets you hear that band feeling up close. Neon Bible gives the music a different space, with arrangements that slowly build the tension.

The Suburbs calls for the coherence of an entire album. On Reflektor, the rhythm is given more freedom of movement. The repetition pushes a track forward while new lines appear above it.

Through indie rock and alternative rock, you can further explore that broad band landscape. Pink Elephant adds another sound world to the vinyl selection.

The National builds tension with a different voice and a restrained movement. Radiohead shifts the shape of the song. alt-J, Florence + the Machine and Talking Heads provide the selection below with additional listening routes.

Listen to who kicks off the chorus: the drums, a guitar motif, or the background voices. With Arcade Fire, a song often seems to be propelled forward by multiple people at the same time.
