I don't get to hear b-sides as often as I used to, probably because I rarely buy singles anymore; nowadays I have to go out of my way to track down and source those bonus tracks in order to be a true completist record collector. So exactly how I stumbled across this lovely Arcade Fire b-side to "No Cars Go" I'm not sure, but I'm so so so glad I did. It's worthy of sitting alongside their finest album tracks.
