Bodies of Water – A Certain Feeling
Released July 22 on Secretly Canadian.
We’ve
all seen flashes of Arcade Fire’s influence in the music scene these
past few years, and it’s hard to believe it’s been almost four years
since Funeral took us all by storm. But rarely has an album
truly jumped out and demanded to follow in the bombastic footsteps of
Win Butler and Régine Chassagne’s Canadian outfit, while still being
talented and unique enough not merely to seem like parrots. But A Certain Feeling has that quality to it, as it’s flamboyant and very, very large in
sound, all the while featuring dueling male and female vocals, steady
percussion, and the occasional classic rock-esque guitar riff.
