Arcade Fire For Next May?

2009-12-02 by Observer EMERITUS | 33 Comments
Some album details about Arcade Fire's upcoming album have been released by Billboard. The album has a tentative release date for sometime in May of next year and a single release that will precede the album. The band are also going to start touring again next year as well:

The Arcade Fire, the acclaimed Canadian indie rock band that exploded onto the international scene with 2003's "Funeral," is nearing completion of its as-yet-untitled third album and plans to return to the stage in 2010. The album, which according to Billboard sources is currently on track for a May release, will be Arcade Fire's first set of new material since 2007's "Neon Bible." The band have not performed publicly since Jan. 21, when the group played at the Obama Campaign Staff Ball at the DC Armory following the presidential inauguration.

While details of the new album are scarce, the BBC revealed yesterday that the band has spent the past six months ensconced in the studio with producer Markus Dravs, who has worked with the likes of Coldplay, Bjork and Brian Eno, and served as engineer on "Bible." According to British musician Marcus Mumford, Dravs has called the band's new songs "better."

Billboard sources say the album will be preceded by a single release earlier in 2010. The band is weighing multiple offers for live shows in the spring, and will likely take a top slot at one or more of the major North American summer festivals.

Lol. I laughed so hard about the songs that are "better". This should be the best news of the month. Unless someone famous is having a hot daughter.

It's really worth checking out. A bit more grandiose than Funeral, but still good.

So... they're working on new material but only in the studio and NOT performing any of it live beforehand? That sounds like a wonderful idea. I loved funeral but neon bible only had a couple of tracks that I really enjoyed. I'm not getting my hopes up.
