Reflektor

It's the end of the summer and I am sick of all of the music I normally listen to.  I haven't heard anything amazing lately and I feel too lazy to search.  Why can't someone just giiiiiive me a bunch of music without having to looooook for it.  Wah. 





Well, the sweet angels from heaven, Arcade Fire, released this little teaser for their next album, Reflektor.  It's coming out at the end of October, and one of the things I really like about the Arcade Fire is that they release their albums at the most perfect times.  For me.   

Funeral came out in September 2004, and although I can't explain exactly why that was the best possible season /time for it to come out, but it was.  It worked for me.  This is right when I moved to Victoria as a little 18 year old and they would play "Rebellion (Lies)" at the bar and I was blown away that a nightclub was allowed to play something besides "Yeah" by Usher and Lil Jon.   

Neon Bible came out in March 2007, which was a little darker of an album, was great for the end of the winter weather that I was experiencing in Victoria -- pissin' rain everyday and I was temporarily living in "The Sheeted Area" in a friends shitty basement, sharing a bed with my gal pal Kat.  For two months.  I like to think that Neon Bible helped me get through that.  


The Suburbs came out early August of 2010 and I remember Katy and I listening to it constantly, as we were recently reunited and this was the best BFF album 2 gals and a big ass blue Lumina could hope for. 

So, since I love the Arcade Fire sooo much and they always put out albums that I cannot stop listening to for months and months, I'm anticipating that Reflektor will be the perfect album for me to listen to, on repeat, from October 29th and into 2014.  I feel confident in this, as the trailer looks and sounds amazing!
