Which alternative rock band released the 2007 album 'Neon Bible'?

The story behind the answer

Arcade Fire released the 2007 alternative rock album 'Neon Bible'.

It was the Canadian band's second studio album, following 'Funeral'. The record uses organ, strings, brass, choir, and dramatic rock arrangements to explore themes involving religion, war, media, and political fear. Songs such as 'Keep the Car Running', 'Intervention', and 'Black Mirror' define its expansive sound.

The title 'Neon Bible' was taken from a 1952 novel by John Kennedy Toole. Arcade Fire recorded much of the album in a former church near Farnham, Quebec, which the band converted into a studio. The album followed the success of 'Funeral' but has a darker, more orchestrated character.
