What's the French for 'Down wit da yoof?'

I know nothing about them, their website is impenetrable (maybe it’s just the office server acting the slippery eel), and I think they only have the one album out, but I quite like The Arcade Fire. I bought the album some time ago, having seen them on Later with Jools Holland, I added it to my Walkman, but only really gave it a single listen. Since the Walkman is generally on shuffle, I haven’t listened to them since.

So today I set the play mode to normal and shuffled through to deliberately listen to stuff that rarely slides through the cans. Funeral became that album, and I am enjoying it immensely.

The band remind me of someone, but I’m damned if I can recall who, but it’s more than one band, that’s for sure. Here and there, there are snatches that could be British Sea Power, but then they veer off on some other tack.

Who would have thought that I might like something produced by a bunch of Québecois? Well, Quebec residents, at least.

I am 'down' with the Montreal Indie scene. Who’da thunk?
