Well it's about that time to kick off a new Arcade Fire album thread. 
Here is the progress thus far. arcadefiretube.com/arcade-fire/lp5-progress-reports/This would appear to be the end of Reflektor’s cycle. So does that mean you’re working on new music?
Richard: We’re playing for the first time in a while. We’ve all been taking time away. We are getting together and playing music as we do.
Will: We’re always demo-ing. And demos always end up on the album. But we don’t think of it as making an album currently. Based on how our albums come out I’m going to guess that it comes out in February 2017. But it’ll probably be like a surprise midnight thing. But that’s literally my prediction. That’s how many beans I think are in the jelly jar. I’ll bet the album will come out in February 2017.

Excellent, in all honesty, I feared their hiatus would be a good few years.

Considering they are pretty confident at a 2017 release at the start and tour rumours are strong, I suspect they must be quite far on with the material they've written so far. |

They all have so many side projects since the Reflektor tour ended. - Win has been DJing across the globe - Will has released a solo album and is touring. - Tim is recording a solo album as I type this. - Richard has been experimenting with sound creations. - Sarah just released a solo album and is touring. |

A summer EP would be sweet however unlikely.

February 2017 is a long time away for an album... I was hoping fall 2016.

Win Butler might be the worst dressed frontmen in rock.

Very curious all these summer festival tour dates being announced. Rumor has it 2 more will be added in Toronto and New York. Arcade Fire normally doesn't tour when not promoting a new album. They've only just begun sessions for a potential 5th album. Since the tour ended in August 2014, the band members have hardly seen each other with all the various side projects going on across the globe. Very interesting news....

Sarah who is a roving/studio/live member of Arcade Fire said the band is well into recording and to expect the new album "sooner rather than later". I was expecting an album come spring 2017. Now I'm expecting a late fall, early winter release. Tim even says new songs could be played live this summer. Let's do this! arcadefiretube.com/lp-5-progress-reports/ |

We all know the shortcomings of Pitchfork, but I quite liked their idea in their review of The Suburbs that it represents the same defiant, rebellious kids* of Funeral returning back to the suburbs they once revolted in - but now jaded and with kids of their own. Makes me appreciate the album a lot more.
Though we knew this day would come,
Still it took us by surprise.
In this town where I was born,
I now see through a dead man's eyes.
* Win does love that word, doesn't he? He's probably the only rockstar going who can still make it sound cool...

Gotta say... I don't give any f***s about this.
I hope everyone gets what they are hoping for from their next release.
