It’s hard to believe that Canada’s Arcade Fire released their breakthrough album, Funeral, 15 years ago this week.
The album was one of the landmark albums of the early 2000s that made indie rock one of the hottest genres in music for at least a decade.
To celebrate the occasion, the band is releasing a collection of archival material related to the epic album.
First up is a remastered version of their music video for “Rebellion (Lies),” one of the many standout tracks on the album.
“The ‘Rebellion’ video is the first video we made as a band, filmed in the months before the release of Funeral,” the band wrote on Instagram.
“Our friend Josh Deu, who used to play in Arcade Fire, did the visual effects on the video. Somehow along the way the wrong version got uploaded and the official video only existed in a degraded form. We are happy that he was able to redo the hand drawn effects for this restoration. Enjoy the band as the babies we were!”
