Arcade Fire

In March 2007, when Arcade Fire performed "Poupée de Cire, Poupée de Son" at L'Olympia in Paris, they were riding high on the success of their second album, *Neon Bible*. Released just a year earlier, in March 2007, the album further established their distinct sound, blending rich orchestration with poignant lyrics, and it was a significant evolution from their critically adored debut, *Funeral*. This particular live recording captures the band in an electric moment—their unique blend of indie rock with baroque pop elements was absolutely resonating with audiences. It’s also interesting to note that the band covered "Poupée de Cire" originally by Serge Gainsbourg, showcasing their ability to weave diverse influences into their performances. This blend of styles and their undeniable energy during this concert reflected a band on the brink of even greater acclaim, paving the path for their future successes.
