艺人资料

The Arcade Fire是来自加拿大蒙特利尔的一支独立摇滚乐队,于2004年推出第一张专辑《Funeral》。他们的音乐风格有Talking Heads,Joy Division以及其他一些乐队的影子。The Arcade Fire善于用吉他,手风琴,小提琴等很多乐器一起制造旋转并跳跃的声音阵列。他们的音乐,能让你感受到在白色雪地上,一个人象雪一样安静的并不抱什么希望的呼喊。The Arcade Fire的乐队里有一对夫妻,还有一对亲兄弟。

2004年,他们的不幸之年,随着他们的几位亲人的去世,带给他们的是沉重的悲痛。也可以说是“化悲痛为力量”,他们毫不犹豫,创作了他们2004的《Funeral》,通过他们毫不掩饰的心情演奏,来表达对亲人离去的伤感。

在录制这唱片期间,Chassagne的祖母、Butler的祖父和另一位成员的姨姨相继离世,因此说唱片被不安所笼罩,并没有半点夸张。碟内有多首命名为《Neighborhood》的歌曲,似是诉说某幻想中的邻居的故事。例如《Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)》表面看是一首纯洁的情歌,但当歌者那率真的爱情观与其父母们失败的婚姻并列,却令爱情埋藏著一丝危机;《Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)》中唱到《what’s the plan? / is it a dream? / is it a lie? / I think I’ll let you decide》,勾划出成长途上的怅惘。

2005年9月发行现场专辑《Live EP (Live at Fashion Rocks)》。

2007年发行录音室专辑《Neon Bible》。

2010年发行录音室专辑《The Suburbs》。

2013年10月发行专辑《Reflektor》。

2014年发行电影《云端情人》原声带《她》。

2015年发行单曲《Get Right / Crucified Again》。

2016年6月17日,成员Butler主持Reddit AMA,他透露乐队正在筹备新专辑的录制。7月19日,成员Tim Kingsbury透露第五张新专辑将会在2017年发行。

Arcade Fire is a Canadian indie rock band based in Montreal, Quebec consisting of husband and wife Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, along with Win's younger brother Will Butler, Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury and Jeremy Gara. The band's current touring line-up also includes former core member Sarah Neufeld, frequent collaborator Owen Pallett, two additional percussionists, Diol Edmond and Tiwill Duprate, and saxophonists Matt Bauder and Stuart Bogie.

Founded in 2001 by friends and classmates Win Butler and Josh Deu, the band came to prominence in 2004 with the release of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Funeral’. Their second studio album, ‘Neon Bible’, won them the 2008 Meteor Music Award for Best International Album and the 2008 Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year. Their third studio album, ‘The Suburbs’, was released in 2010 to critical acclaim and commercial success. It received many accolades, including the 2011 Grammy for Album of the Year, the 2011 Juno Award for Album of the Year, and the 2011 Brit Award for Best International Album. In 2013, Arcade Fire released their fourth album, ‘Reflektor’, and scored the feature film ‘Her’, for which band members William Butler and Owen Pallett were nominated in the Best Original Score category at the 86th Academy Awards. All four of their studio albums have received nominations for the Best Alternative Music Album Grammy; the band's work has also been named three times as a shortlist nominee for the Polaris Music Prize: in 2007 for ‘Neon Bible’, in 2011 for The Suburbs and in 2014 for’ Reflektor’, winning the award for ‘The Suburbs’.

The band plays guitar, drums, bass guitar, piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, xylophone, glockenspiel, keyboard, synthesizer, French horn, accordion, harp, mandolin, and hurdy-gurdy, and takes most of these instruments on tour; the multi-instrumentalist band members switch duties throughout shows.

A documentary film called ‘The Reflektor Tapes’, about the making of the album, was released on September 24, 2015 and was shown at the 2015 Toronto Film Festival.

On May 25, 2016 Win Butler and Régine Chassagne performed a surprise set outside the Louvre which included a new song. The pair were invited by the french street artist JR to DJ at the launch of his new exhibition titled JR Au Louvre, but set up set up drums and keyboards in the Tuleries gardens. The band covered David Bowie's ‘Oh! You Pretty Things’ and ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ by Sinéad O'Connor. On June 17, Butler hosted a Reddit AMA, where he answered fan questions about the next Arcade Fire album. He stated that the new record maybe released in spring 2017 and that the band had 'no definite schedule though. It'll be done when it's done.' On July 5, the band played their first complete full-band concert in two years in Barcelona, Spain as a warm up for their upcoming summer festival dates in Canada, Portugal, Spain and USA.

On July 19, Tim Kingsbury told the CBC that the band's upcoming fifth album will be out in 2017.
