Arcade Fire - We (Sort)

269,00 DKK


On a wall of Arcade Fire's New Orleans studio, photos map the territory of its sixth album, WE. On one side, images capture what ails us - a crushing boot, a wounded man, a child staring blankly at a screen. On the other side, joyous family pictures cluster. In the center, there's a photograph of the cover of "We," the 1921 sci-fi novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin, showing a crystalline skyscraper in which the citizens of a dystopia live under constant surveillance.With an album already written, Arcade Fire started recording in February, 2020, but were interrupted by the start of the COVID19 pandemic. Win & Régine spent the rest of that year and most of the next writing even more songs. "It was the longest we've ever spent writing, uninterrupted, probably ever" Butler said. Still, the resulting album - produced by Nigel Godrich, Win & Régine - is a concise 40 minutes long. Its fi rst side, "I," is about our troubles; its second side, "WE," is about our love for one another.

Produced by Nigel Godrich, Win & Re?gine, and recorded in multiple locales including New Orleans, El Paso and Mount Desert Island, WE paradoxically distills the longest Arcade Fire have ever spent writing, uninterrupteded, into a concise 40 minute epic - one as much about the forces that threaten to pull us away from the people we love, as it is inspired by the urgent need to overcome them. WE's cathartic journey follows a definable arc from darkness into light over the course of seven songs divided into two distinct sides -- Side "I" channeling the fear and loneliness of isolation, and Side "WE" expressing the joy and power of reconnection.
