The Story Behind: Arcade Fire - Funeral, Ep 188

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Arcade Fire roared out of Montreal's artsy early 2000s scene and became stadium fillers quickly after the release of their smash debut Funeral. The team get together and talk about missed concert opportunities, killer xylophone overdubs, and the difference between broke and baroque bands.
