Régine Chassagne gets the spotlight on this holdover from December, the final video from “The Suburbs.” Consequence of Sound aptly described the clip as evoking both “Dawn of the Dead” (Romero original) and John Carpenter’s “They Live” — certainly the imagery of decaying suburban slum and the creepy, latex-and-facepaint dancers will remind plenty of viewers of that underrated Carpenter film. Beyond that, Chassagne is having a blast with her tinsel and “Tron”-effect prom dress.
I know it’s early. I know they just finished up a tour. But I’m ready for more Arcade Fire. The initial release picture for 2012 is looking bereft. I hope there are some surprises in the offering.
