It is a beautiful thing to watch a person grow. From their first word and first steps, to the forming of their identity, the crystallization of a human personality is a phenomenon virtually unmatched. A similar feeling can be accessed when observing the evolution of a band.
Take, for instance, the Montreal-via-Texas group that is Arcade Fire, who are quite simply one of the biggest bands in the world. They have been through many changes over the years, so I hope you find it as thrilling and inspiring as I do to watch this performance from 9 years ago of the song "My Heart Is An Apple" (before they had released even their first EP).
From house shows to Madison Square Garden (and every major music festival).
From small sound to big sound.
This is the band that put the nail in the coffin of "Indie Rock" before they could even comprehend that the object in their hands was even a hammer.
Thanks to Owen Pallett for tweeting this.
