The Arcade Fire


In absolute awe. Just can't stop listening to the melodies of their last feat, Neon Bible. The relentless crescendos of vocals, the incredible reinvention of the organ, the choirs, the drums, the beautiful voices of Win and Régine. The best album I have heard since Thom Yorke's The Eraser, although the two are not really comparable.

Some tracks here. Others here. But you should simply go buy the album and play it ad nauseam...
