Arcade Fire detail new album, set release date
The Arcade Fire have announced the release of their second album this spring. Titled Neon Bible, the
album will serve as the follow-up to their breakthrough debut, 2004's Funeral, and is slotted for a March
6 release date on Merge Records
The album's title references the 1990 book by Pulizer Prize-winning author John Kennedy Toole, which chronicles the story of a young boy growing up in a small Southern town in the 1940s, where the highly religious townspeople look down upon him because of his family's inability to pay church dues.
Additionally, the band has released a few media sources in anticipation of the album. You can check out the Neon Bible website, or the phone number (which Punknews.org has yet to call - so do so at your own risk/expense) 1-866 NEON BIBLE.
