After what seems like a lifetime and a pandemic obsession, Arcade Fire has finally released a new album! With the excitement of a new record also came the disappointment in learning that Will Butler left the band after the recording of the album. I’m seriously super bummed about that. But anyway, here’s my thoughts on We.

What perfect timing! While it still might be a little while yet before we get any new music from one of my favorite bands, Arcade Fire is serving us some awesome throwback performances in what they’re calling “Arcade Fire Past Lives.” I’ll take it! In the meantime, you can enjoy this new drawing!

I think it’s no big reveal that I’ve been obsessing over Arcade Fire for most of quarantine. In honor of that of course I decided to draw the whole band for the first time in almost ten years! Their album Reflector has really been my jam this past month, so I’m glad I found this to draw! Again, can’t wait for new music and hopefully the chance to see them live soon.

To say I’ve been obsessed with Arcade Fire this year would be an understatement, but I don’t know how else to describe it. With words, anyways. I always find that I can express my passion for entertainment and artistry with my own artistry. And sometimes it pays off! Richard Reed Parry, the enigmatic guitarist of Arcade Fire saw this an liked it! That makes my heart so happy. So anyways, enjoy 🙂
Read moreAlbum Review: Will Butler – Generations
A little over five years since this Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist’s first solo project, Will Butler releases his next odyssey, Generations. The tone shifts throughout the record, yet presents itself as a cohesive package to the listener. I know that sounds confusing, but honestly every song had something almost incredibly different to offer yet sounded like the tracks were cut from the same cloth.

As you’ve all noticed the last few weeks, I’ve been constantly listening to Arcade Fire. However, I was only listening to my favorite songs off the records, essentially from when I listened to them all for the first time. This means that not a whole lot was coming off of Everything Now or Reflektor, or even Funeral! The Suburbs was my first foray into the band’s work, and Neon Bible was a logical next step in my listening history/journey. While I do like some songs from those other efforts, I decided it was about time to give them another shake and see if my tastes have expanded.

For the past two weeks I’ve been obsessively listening to Arcade Fire and my desire to see live music is at its desperate peak! I think back to the two times I was able to see Arcade Fire live in 2014 and 2018, and both instances were incredible. True talents, every one of them! Anyways, the younger Butler, William, has ventured into solo work, and I loved his first album’s cover so much that I drew it.
