Arcade Fire Share Remastered "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)" Video

This past September, Arcade Fire celebrated the 15th anniversary of their debut album Funeral with a bevy of archived gems including live footage, unreleased pictures and a remastered video of their single “Rebellion (Lies).” Now, as a continuation of the album’s anniversary, the group has released another remastered music video for its grandiose opening track, “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels).”

The newest version of the single shows the group in all their mid-’00s glory with a young, vest-clad Win Butler at the helm. Just like its preceding video, the visual component of “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)” was directed by Josh Deu—a one-time member of the band. In the bizarre fun-house setting of the video, Arcade Fire amble around while black animation consumes them and tosses each individual member into a cartoonish world.

Perhaps the best service done by the video’s remastering is the wonderful detail put into these animated scenes: Butler’s parents trapped on a stormy seascape, drummer Régine Chassagne using an umbrella to fly and keyboardist Richard Reed Parry being chased by demonic versions of himself. Each scene is colored with wonderful weirdness.
