“Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” is previewed from Arcade Fire’s new album The Suburbs, expected August 2 via Merge. word on the streets is that this record has gotten out of its cage… but we say do yourself a kindness, take this track as yet another taste of what’s to come, and get the whole thing once it’s ready. why? well to begin with, not only does it not disappoint as the next chapter in the the musical take of one of the most relevant bands of the last 10 years, but it also comes packing some killer collective artwork (see above). we dig.
Arcade Fire – Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)speaking of cages, a fave from the fire…

This latest Arcade Fire track is a little more unique than the first four, but it still isn’t on the level of their first two albums. “My Body is a Cage” is exactly what I’m talking about. It builds into an absolute masterpiece to me, and I’m hoping the 11 other new tracks will have more of that.

I dug Spawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) so much, I made a music video for it…

I’d be curious to hear what you think, hate it or otherwise.
You’ve made quite a nice music site, LOL’d at your rating system 🙂
