Arcade Fire’s new album, The Suburbs, is out today, igniting a thousand adolescent fantasies from its original fans. The subject of the Montreal-based indie mega-group has always been childhood and suburban living, so it doesn’t hurt that the new album’s title fans the flames of nostalgia. In an interesting turn, Arcade Fire has also produced a trailer of sorts for the album, in what seems to be a first in the music world. Watch the video after the jump and be sure to get your hands on the new album—which has already been deemed “Best New Music” on Pitchfork.
