Cover: Cuff the Duke, "The Suburbs"



I love Arcade Fire, and I feel like their music lends itself particularly well to interpretation. They do a great job creating total packages with their music, but the songs often lend themselves to reinterpretation, so another band can puts its stamp on there.

On the surface, this isn't all that different from the original, but it seems much homier, more Earthbound than the original. Rather than the yearning for the world beyond the picket fence, of Win Butler's vocal, you get the sense of being stuck in place no matter what.
