Neon Bible
''Neon Bible'' is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Arcade Fire, released in March 2007 on Merge Records. Originally announced on December 16, 2006 through the band's website, the majority of the album was recorded at a church the band bought and renovated in Farnham, Quebec. The album is the first to feature drummer Jeremy Gara, and the first to include violinist Sarah Neufeld among the band's core line-up.
''Neon Bible'' became Arcade Fire's highest charting album at the time, debuting on the ''Billboard'' 200 at number two, selling 92,000 copies in its first week and more than 400,000 to date. Being released within a month of similarly successful releases by The Shins (''Wincing the Night Away'') and Modest Mouse (''We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank''), ''Neon Bible'' was cited as an example of the popularization of indie rock. Critics offered the self-produced ''Neon Bible'' mostly favorable reviews, although with division over the album's sound. Publications like ''NME'' and IGN praised the album for its grandiose nature,〔 while ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Uncut'' said that it resulted in a distant and overblown sound.〔
==Production==
Following the release of ''Funeral'' (2004), which had been recorded in an attic studio known as Hotel2Tango, Arcade Fire decided a permanent recording location was necessary. Following their tour in support of ''Funeral'', the band bought the Petite Église in Farnham, Quebec. Being used as a café at the time of purchase, the Petite Église had once been a church and a Masonic Temple. Once renovation of the church was complete, the band spent the latter half of 2006 recording a majority of the album there. Michael Pärt produced additionally recordings in Budapest, recording the Budapest Film Orchestra and a military men's choir.〔 Other sessions included one in New York, where the band recorded along the Hudson River to be near water.〔
Having recorded so many different, and sometimes conflicting ideas for each song, it was decided that for the mixing it would be a good idea to get someone else to come in.〔("Interview With Nick Launay" ), ''HitQuarters'', 16 November 2009.〕 The band sent tracks to several well-known mixers/producers to experiment with and after deciding they liked Nick Launay's ideas best, invited him up to their studio to work on the songs further. For a month Launay worked with the album's engineer and co-producer Marcus Strauss on the mixing of each song, with the band regularly driving up from Montreal to assess their progress. In an interview with HitQuarters, Launay described the mixing process as a "playful thing".〔
