WATCH: Arcade Fire – Reflektor

The band meet David Bowie and James Murphy on sprawling seven-minute new track

No doubt, you’ll have spotted the legions getting excited on the web or spied some of the album’s graffiti insignia on a pavement near you, so you’ll know full well that Canadian big-hitters Arcade Fire have a new album, their fourth, entitled Reflektor, on the way. It’s due out on October 28 on Sonobox, and last night they debuted the first taster of the album, its title track, featuring none other than Mr David Bowie, as well as ex-LCD Soundsystem man James Murphy helming production, for which they’ve released two videos. Have a watch of the Anton Corbijn-directed one below, while you can head over to a special website the band have set up for a full-on, interactive "virtual projection" by Vincent Morisset – head here for that.
