10 Most Exciting Sounds of 2013

By Al Mannarino /

9. Arcade Fire €“ Untitled New Album

At the 53rd Grammy Awards, Win Butler and the rest of the Arcade Fire, stunned the music world when the popular indie alternative band won their first Grammy, which turned out to be the coveted Album of the Year Award. It has been two years since that album, The Suburbs, was released. Butler announced last year that their untitled fourth studio album would be released in 2013. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Arcade Fire, they are the indie alternative equivalent to the classic rock band Chicago. They use all different types of instruments and have two drummers. They have one of the most original sounds in music today. The Suburbs will be a tough act to follow, but the large Canadian band is definitely up for the challenge. The new album€™s release is set for late 2013, but hopefully they will announce a tour soon. Listen to: €œWake Up€, €œKeep the Car Running€, and €œReady to Start€
