Arcade Fire by Michael Marcelle
Arcade Fire are following up the lead track ‘The Lightning I, II’.
Arcade Fire have released another single from their WE album before it hits the shelves on May 6th.
“There’s nothing saccharine about unconditional love in a world that is coming apart at the seams,” Win Butler says of Unconditional I (Lookout Kid). “WE need each other, in all of our imperfection.”
“Lookout Kid is a reminder, a lullaby for the end times, sung to my son, but for everyone…Trust your heart, trust your mind, trust your body, trust your soul. Shit is going to get worse before it gets better, but it always gets better, and no one’s perfect. Let me say it again. No one’s perfect.”
Split into two distinct parts – ‘I’ and ‘WE’ – the album was co-produced by Nigel Godrich in New Orleans, El Paso and Mount Desert Island.
