An eclectic independent rock band with baroque and pop undertones, Montréal’s Arcade Fire moved from virtual unknowns to critical darlings to chart-topping indie rock royalty in the space of three albums. The band’s breakthrough debut, Funeral (2004), is widely considered one of the best rock albums of the 21st century. Their third album, The Suburbs (2010), won Juno Awards, Grammy Awards and the Polaris Music Prize. They are known for their expansive membership and almost orchestral instrumentation, serious lyrical and thematic concerns, an anthemic yet iconoclastic sound and dramatic build-ups to cathartic moments of intense energy. Their theatrical, exuberant live shows have made them a popular touring act and enhanced their worldwide popularity.
