Lorde has listed what she believes to be the ten best songs from her "favourite band" Arcade Fire.
Lord compiled the list as part of a feature for Rolling Stone magazine, in which she was asked to rank her ten favourite songs from the band, and has included a short, eccentric description for each song.
In the introduction to the feature, the singer writes: "I feel weird writing this because the people in Arcade Fire are my friends. It'll be fine, I think."
She adds: "They've been my favourite band since a guy who was kind of mean and kind of my friend put The Suburbs on my computer one day after school. It was a super hot day; my hair was wet from the pool. I was 13. I still remember that day." Of course you do Lorde, it was last week.
Lorde picked 'Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)' as No.1 on the list, praising the "cracks and anguish in Win's vocal (and that one 'Whoo!'), the percussion, the burn of the chords." Have a look at the full list below.

Other highlights of the New Zealand singer's prose includes her appraisal of 'Afterlife', in which she writes: "When I die I want someone to put my body in a funeral parlor so you have to kiss my dead lips, Sopranos-style, and I want this song on a loop. And there has to be a disco ball."
Arcade Fire released their fourth album, Reflektor, in 2013. You can listen to a Spotify playlist of Lorde's ten favourite Arcade Fire songs below.
