There's no place like home — or your home, rather — for Arcade Fire. The chart topping, Montreal-based alt-rock collective, whose third studio disc, The Suburbs, entered the Billboard Top 200 albums chart at No. 1, just released an ultra inventive viral video for the album's single, "We Used To Wait" using Google satellite technology.
Exploring the disc's overall thesis of uncovering deeper meaning in suburban upbringings, the online art piece allows visitors to enter in the address of their own childhood home — and then watch the story unfold alongside the poignant track.
It's a must see — but watch out for the birds. You've been warned! "We Used To Wait" is live now at http://thewildernessdowntown.com.
