the arcade fire is a band that HAS to be produced slickly in order to capture all the instruments they use (same case with neutral milk hotel or sufjan stevens, for instance); also, i meant slick production values for underground music, not by mainstream standards, it's certainly more hi fi than hair police, no neck blues band or the goslings, which are kinda what i had in mind.
i don't know the history of bss but i saw them open for dinosaur jr last year and they did strike me as a boring belle and sebastian knock off, lots of people onstage with a girl singer besides the male guys doing cutesy pop songs and sometimes playing trumpets and stuff...it seemed very b&s to me, i haven't heard their first album though; i tried getting into them so much but i really don't see why people like them at all.
