I pressure all of you to buy Neon Bible and Funeral. They're by Arcade Fire, who have been under great media attention recently. They've been on SNL, and I really love how they've gained more fans. Neon Bible has a dark feel to it, but it's definitely good at blending that with upbeat, cheerier songs. Funeral, their first album, is even better.
So, if you've heard them, tell me what you think.
