about

Lies on the Prize (2008) was recorded in the Arcade Fire’s converted church studio outside of Montreal by Jeremy Gara. We spent a year or so trying things, making demos and bouncing things around until – before we knew it – we had the makings of an album on our hands. A few finishing touches from some good friends filled it out (Sarah Neufeld, Angela Desveaux, Pietro Amato and Jeff DeButte), then we tied it all together and put it out. This one was even nominated for the Polaris Prize that year. The cover drawing is by Kit Malo.
