Posted July 31, 201311 yr http://cdn2.pitchfork.com/news/51545/7b8df6a5.jpeg Another reason to get excited about Autumn '13, the Canadian band confirmed that their new album (their fourth LP) will be out in late October and that the first single from it would be released in early September. Yes that's right - they are actually going to be releasing singles this time! James Murphy is on production duties and has described the album as "It's really f***ing epic". This from Pitchfork: As announced last week via a Twitter @ reply to a fan, Arcade Fire have a new album coming on October 29. James Murphy, who worked on the record, recently spoke with NME about it. At this point, he says his work on the record is finished, but, "For them, it's not finished until it's in stores." "They're all so phenomenally talented and full of ideas so songs keep on coming," he added. "The last time I dared think it was finished I came back to the studio three days later to mix and they'd written two new songs for the album!" He also said that Régine Chassagne, who was pregnant during some of the recording (she's married to bandmate Win Butler), worked in the studio "up until, like, the very final point she possibly could in the studio before giving birth. All of them, they're so committed to making this record." Murphy didn't give much of a description of how the album sounds, but did offer up, "It sounds like Arcade Fire in the way that only Arcade Fire sound like Arcade Fire, you know? It's really f***ing epic. Seriously. I mean, I feel at this point like I'm too close to it to really talk it up and do it justice. You know?" Edited September 4, 201311 yr by Doctor Blind
July 31, 201311 yr I fear they've already had their "golden period" with The Suburbs and this might just be preaching to the converted but as long as it's good then I don't care.
July 31, 201311 yr Yussss! They have a hell of a lot to live up to after The Suburbs, but their albums are always so incredible as a whole (it's actually tough to name a highlight on The Suburbs as all the tracks are really great in their own way) that I'm sure they won't let us down.
September 4, 201311 yr http://www.arcadefire.com/ 4i2wp3GkNrg I presume we get a track from the album on Monday then! Oh, and artwork everywhere: http://cdn.stereogum.com/files/2013/08/ArcadeFire_Reflektor_Mural.jpg http://iamnosuperman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Arcade-Fire-Reflektor-street-art-album-iamnosuperman-.png Google has more.

September 7, 201311 yr Author "Reflektor", the title track, will be released as a SINGLE (Yes, a single - they've decided they are going to start releasing them again) on the 9th September at 9pm... I'm presuming US time (centre of the world) so we will probably get it on the 10th September.
September 7, 201311 yr 'Reflektor' is vvv good on first lq listening. I have a feeling this record is going to MAKE my autumn
September 7, 201311 yr That soundbite is excellent, if I wasn't already extremely pumped for this album, I certainly am now. Guess we'll see the first single in 2 days.

September 8, 201311 yr Author http://www.listenbeforeyoubuy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/reflektor3.jpg Lyrics: Trapped in a prism In a prism of light Alone in the darkness Darkness of white We fell in love Alone on a stage In the reflective age Entre le nuit, le nuit et l’aurore. Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts. If this is heaven I don’t know what it’s for If I can’t find you there I don’t care I thought I found a way to enter It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) I thought I found the connector It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) The signals we send Are deflected again We’re still connected But are we even friends? We fell in love when I was nineteen And I was staring at a screen Entre le nuit, le nuit et l’aurore. Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts. If this is heaven I need something more Just a place to be alone Cause you’re my home??? I thought I found a way to enter It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) I thought I found the connector It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) It’s just a reflection of a reflection Of a reflection of a reflection Will I see you on the other side? We all got things to hide It’s just a reflection of a reflection Of a reflection of a reflection Will I see you on the other side? We all got things to hide Alright, let’s go back Our song escapes On neon silver discs Our love is plastic We’ll break it to bits I want to break free But will they break me? Down, down, down Don’t mess around I thought I found a way to enter It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) I thought I found the connector It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) Thought you would bring me to the ressurector Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) Thought you would bring to me the ressurector Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) Thought you would bring to me the ressurector Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor) It’s a Reflektor It’s just a Reflektor Just a Reflektor Will I see you on the other side? It’s just a Reflektor Will I see you on the other side? We all got things to hide It’s just a Reflektor Will I see you on the other side?
