Arcade Fire’s ‘Abraham’s Daughter’ appears on the soundtrack for the Hunger Games, and I reviewed the song over at Diffuser.
There’s a militaristic beat woven throughout and an overall military cadence set against the ominous instrumentation, but it’s tempered by the ethereal, female vocals of Régine Chassagne. She’s almost like a mirage, making you feel like things will be okay, but then the nervous instrumentation won’t allow itself to be kept at bay.
