Which 2004 album was Arcade Fire’s debut studio album?

Arcade Fire’s 2004 debut studio album is Funeral.

Funeral was released on September 14, 2004, by the Canadian indie-rock band Arcade Fire. Its title refers to the deaths of several relatives of band members during the period when the album was recorded. That background contributed to the record’s themes of grief, family, memory, and community, although the music also contains energetic and hopeful passages.

The album includes “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels),” “Neighborhood #2 (Laika),” “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out),” “Rebellion (Lies),” and “Wake Up.” Its large arrangements use guitars, drums, piano, strings, accordion, and other instruments, helping establish Arcade Fire’s dramatic ensemble sound.

Funeral received widespread critical acclaim and was nominated for the 2005 Polaris Music Prize. It also helped move the band from the independent scene into international prominence. Arcade Fire followed it with Neon Bible in 2007 and The Suburbs in 2010, the latter winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
