Keep The Car Running

Arcade Fire

Sonovox/Universal

WE SAY

Keep The Car Running is the lead single from the follow-up to Arcade Fire's universally acclaimed debut Funeral. Neon Bible has already gathered a host of 5-star reviews and will undoubtedly feature on many critics’ best-of lists for this year. This track is currently a single of the week and B-listed at Radio 1 and is on the XFM daytime playlist. It's the perfect comeback for the band, being everything the last album was, but radio friendly and with crossover appeal. Complex but brilliant arrangements on a song that conjures the best elements of Springsteen-esque rock and still manages to sound fresh. JF London Gig: March 14 Brixton Academy SW9
