Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) Animated Video

I've always said "Neighborhood #3" should've been the first single from The Arcade Fire. Anyway, Plates Animation has done a cool flash video for the tune. Watch it here! (Link via Dave.)

You can still download the audio track courtesy of Toolshed Media, though you already have it if you've been paying attention.

The Arcade Fire - "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" (MP3)

For the true indie-yuppies ... Funeral's available on vinyl.

The video seems like a pretty literal interpretation of the song, despite the cool animation.

Wow! Great video. I hope it will inspire the offical version.

Furanku, it is an official video :)

it's not just a flash video. the Shins one they did aired on MTV2 a few times. dunno if this one will be aired much yet.

i've always thought there was this 19th century english industial revolution but in a post-apocalypical anti-authoritarian way going on with the arcade fire. this proves it.

Solace

Thanks! But now that I know, I guess Im a little disappointed not to see the band and live shots. Im actually from Montreal and I thought they would have filmed there a bit. Too bad.

Neighbourhood #3 was released as a radio single here in Canada first...but the video wasn't put into rotation. Rebellion (Lies) is being played to shit on Much Music tho.
