Arcade Fire / new album

The full song seems to have been pulled, but I think it's still available here with lyrics:

Music 411 Blog: Hear the new Arcade Fire song two days early!

This is the first I've heard of any new material in a while. Looking forward to it.

 

I'm happy they're releasing a new album, I love Funerals, Suburbs is nice too. They're not my favourite band but they're great anyway.

ps. love your avatar, the Antlers are awesome too.

 

I had no idea there was a new album coming but the Reflektor song sounds good. Can't wait.

I imagined 2013 would be a kinda 'meh' year musically but this makes it a lot more interesting.

 

Neon Bible is where it's at

 

Oh, awesome. I was actually just looking to see if a new Arcade Fire album had been announced a few weeks ago, but I guess it hadn't been yet. Every three years seems like the pattern for them, haha. I've loved all three of their albums so far, so I'm excited!

 

Oh yeah... Like I said, I'm not their biggest fan, forgot they even had that record (please don't shoot me)

I didn't like Reflektor.

 

I'm so proud they're from Montreal!

 

I never knew they existed

 

I liked the first album, but after that, it seemed to lose something, or seem less urgent. I recall hearing Keep the Car Running on my long, boring, soul-killing commute to work when it came out, and liking it, writing down the name. But the later songs didn't quite have that degree of emotion, I thought. Maybe this new album returns to more of a 'raw'/early style.

 

i will look up their music now

 

Look here it is, with video.

I have been listening non stop for the past hour and almost died of happiness it is SO GOOD

 

My first thought when I heard the song: OH MY GOODNESS, IT'S DAVID BOWIE!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, it has been confirmed that it was David Bowie who provided some vocals in the song. And it's a really good song in general.

 

Can hear the James Murphy influence straight away but can't hear Bowie at all Thought it was a bit meh at first but I'm warming to it quickly, still pretty excited for the album either way.

 

I just picked up a copy of the new album at my local record store and it's the most beautifully packaged vinyl I've seen in a while. Everything is, indeed, reflecting. Kind of like a never ending rainbow.



Listening now, first song is playing. I'll get back later :lol:

 

Reflektor is a really awesome song, nice mix of indie, disco and David Bowie is in it as well!!!! If most (if not all) of the songs even come close to sounding as epic as that then I would definitely but their album.

 

SO. YES. IT IS AMAZING

I'm halfway through listening it for the second time and can already say I love it. Favourite songs so far are Reflektor / Normal Person / It's Never Over.
