Funeral

The Montreal band founded by husband and wife Win Butler and R???gine Chassagne make their full-length debut with this highly anticipated disc.

Funeral is the first album by The Arcade Fire. It was released on September 14, 2004 by Merge Records. As the title of the album suggests, much of Funeral is about death, but in a way that is cautiously optimistic rather than gloomy, dark or depressing.
