Listen "Arcade Fire, "The Suburbs""
Episode Synopsis
"The Suburbs" is about a place and time that can now only exist in our memories - our childhood. As Win Butler says, the album "is neither a love letter to, nor an indictment of, the suburbs – it's a letter from the suburbs." It's a punch to the feels, a reflection on friendship, the escape route to individuality, and a mirror held up to the dark side of suburbia. We'll talk about what defines a concept album, how Arcade Fire got its name, and memories that come up for me when I listen to "The Suburbs."
