NEW ARCADE FIRE RECORD DETAILS

(From SPIN)

"The Arcade Fire's third album now has a name -- The Suburbs -- and an August 3 release date in the U.S., according to a post on the band's official site.

Recorded in New York and Montreal, and produced by the band and Markus Dravs, the album will be preceded, as previously reported, by a 12-inch single for the album's title track -- its near-future, semi-apocalyptic lyrics are posted here -- and "Month of May," both of which were played in their entirety for the first time yesterday on select radio stations around the world. Both songs are now streaming, in full, via the band's snazzy record player-like widget. Listen below.

The vinyl single, out today, is mostly available in independent record stores, the band said in their post, but the two songs are also available for purchase as digital downloads right now via arcadefire.com.

The full-length album is also available for pre-order in a varied array of packages, from digital downloads to CDs to a $44.99 package that includes double 12" vinyl, a digital version, and a signed, limited edition poster.

The Suburbs arrives the Tuesday before the band's first American gig of the year: August 8 at Chicago's Lollapalooza."

P.S. FUCK YES!

ARCADE FIRE/SPIKE JONZE FILM?

(via Pitchfork)

A spokesperson for Spike Jonze tells MTV that the visionary director "will be in Austin shooting a short film which is a collaboration with Arcade Fire." This confirms an initial rumor reported yesterday on fan site Joel's Arcade Fire Blog and picked up by /Film, who added that the short involves teenage friends growing apart.

Further details are scarce, but Arcade Fire are due to release a new album later this year-- they've already got some festival gigs lined up. Could this be an extended music video a la Jonze's recent mini-epic for Kanye West, "We Were Once a Fairytale"? No word from Arcade Fire's people yet. Share
