Will Butler - Surrender

[TheThorne]

First single from the Arcade Fire mans new solo record. Think this might be his best solo track yet although its a bit Lumineers but we wouldn't have them without Arcade Fire so cant really complain about that.

A good, catchy number.

To my ears it is more Neil Finn in batty/zany Split Enz/Crowded House mode throwing in some late period homespun Lennonisms over the riff* most famously used in indie rock circles via Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" & The Jam's "Town Called Malice".

* Originally based on the USA Armed Forces Network call signal. Which later influenced "You Can't Hurry Love", by The Supremes, and "I'm Ready for Love", by Martha and the Vandellas (which Lust For Life is a near rip off of). More recently used in "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet and "Selfish Jean" by Travis.

I’m referring more to the band sound than the tune but yes I hear that to.. It is all a bit Ho! Hey! Stomp stomp stomp

I like this a lot -- could well be a future #1 for me. Yes, it sounds a bit like Ho Hey at the start but it takes on a life of its own once it gets going.
