| | Win Butler has expressed displeasure at the popularity of internet-distributed MP3s labeled 2001 Demos and another called Arcade Fire Christmas Album. The demos do not represent the work of the current band, and the "Christmas Album" was taped at a holiday party with friends who played carols in a parody of Arcade Fire style, and only part of the band was present. |
