Arcade Fire talk album #4 [working with LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy?]

Quote:

Arcade Fire drummer Jeremy Gara has given an update on the progress of the band's new album.

Speaking to Ottawa radio station CKCU 93.1 – via Pitchfork, he explained that for the follow-up to 2010's 'The Suburbs' they had to leave their old church based studio, as the roof collapsed. However, they now have a new space where they are working 'full-time'. He said:

Quote:

Now we're in the studio pretty much full-time just doing what we do. And we kind of shut the door. We haven't really gone out and done anything in over a year now. We haven't done photos or interviews or anything. We're just working on music and growing beards and living at home a lot and going out to dinner together.

He added that they're not very far into the recording process, but have been working on the album for "a few months".

He said: "We are under no pressure from record labels or management or whatever to do anything on any sort of schedule. We're just working. We have no deadlines. It's kind of coming along."

Earlier this month, a new track by Arcade Fire, titled 'Crucified Again', surfaced online.

The Montreal band first played the new song at a show in Haiti earlier this year but, after performing the track at another gig in New York on October 4, it has now been posted by the Arcade Fire Tube account on YouTube.

In July of this year, a statement released on the band's Twitter newsfeed confirmed that they will release their new album in 2013.

can't wait :love:

Yes, cannot wait for new material from them.

OMG. ahgghfyhddhdhdhdhdhdfhbfghfgfgfgfdgdhydfhdgfgfgdgd gd

Not sure if I'm feeling Crucified Again from listening to it, but it is low quality I suppose, a studio version might make me go :lovedup:

The Arcade Fire fan community Arcade Fire Tube points out confirmation of a rumor that's been swirling around for a while now. James Murphy is, indeed, in the studio with Arcade Fire working on their forthcoming album.

According to a feature in Music Week about the Arcade Fire management team, manager Scott Rodger said, "They're in with James Murphy on three or so songs, plus Markus Dravs who is a long-time collaborator. They write too many songs - that's a good problem to have. There's around 35 songs with Arcade Fire, two albums'-worth for sure."

There's no word yet on exactly when the new record will be ready, but it'll likely be late next year.

:amazed:
