While Arcade Fire’s video for “Ready to Start” offered a brilliant look at the band from a live perspective, it lacked the suburban nature that defines their latest studio album. On the other hand, the video/interactive film for “We Used to Wait” takes you back to your hometown — literally. Directed by Chris Milk, The Wilderness Downtown utilizes Google maps to create a personalized trip down memory lane with “We Used to Wait” serving as as the accompanying soundtrack.
