After a long, mysterious rollout of bits and pieces of information about their new album Reflektor, Arcade Fire will finally share some new material. The Daily Beast reports, via an interview with filmmaker Anton Corbijn, that the music video for the new single (also called "Reflektor") will be out on Monday at 9 p.m. That's 9 p.m. on 9/9, the date that was obscurely hinted at last month. Corbijn, who's done videos like the one for Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box", is directing. “I can’t say much more than that, because it’s all a surprise,” he said to the Daily Beast, adding, “You’ll have to watch the TV Monday evening.” OK!

was kinda obvious, but confirmed~

David Bowie is rumoured to make a guest appearance on the new album by Arcade Fire.

According to The Sun, Bowie joined the band and former LCD Soundsystem man James Murphy for a recording session recently at New York's Electric Lady studios. The track they recorded together is said to feature on Arcade Fire's currently untitled fourth album, which is set for release on October 29.

Bowie is known to be a fan of the Canadian band and joined them on stage at the Fashion Rocks event in New York in September 2005 and then again later that month at the city's CMJ Music Marathon.

Arcade Fire will be premiering 'Reflektor', the first single from the album, in two days' time. Director Anton Corbijn told The Daily Beast that the band will be unveiling the video for the song on the evening of September 9, saying: "I'm working on a really great song at the moment: Arcade Fire's new single. The song is called 'Reflektor' and you'll be able to see it Monday evening."

When asked for more details about the video, he added: "I can't say much more than that, because it's all a surprise. You'll have to watch the TV Monday evening."

Even tho The Suburbs was the weakest of their 3 albums lol

The Suburbs > Neon Bible, IMO

[Black Dagger]

I really want to listen, but I'm going to wait and actually buy the album (I want them to have chart success because they deserve it so much because the songs I have heard are incredible) :love:

[Shaun]

it's something the band released themselves :laugh: it's their account

i think they only put it up because it leaked, though

[Black Dagger]

Oh well, then that is okay, I thought it was a leak and I was like poor AF, I will try and listen to it in a bit when I have some time, some knob from the Guardian gave it a 3 :hmph:

[Shaun]

album's out now (and #1 on itunes obvs)

everybody go buy because otherwise lorde might get it :bored:

[Black Dagger]

I'm buying it later. :amazed:

I will be furious if Lorde or Union J get it.

[Shaun]

Union J won't 2baha

[Black Dagger]

7th, what a bunch of flops bahaha.

[Stu]

Reflektor is fantastic. Really bombastic but I love it. I only got around to hearing it today, I know. Video's class too but you can expect that from Anton Corbijn.

Look forward to checking out the album.

[Shaun]

#1 obviously

lorde stalled at #4 lol
