Looks like an Arcade Fire album is forthcoming

Since Arcade Fire became an indie-rock “it” band in 2004, their movements have been pretty carefully followed. The release of their follow-up, Neon Bible, was a big deal; their next record will prove to be just as significant to music fans. Stereogum has been keeping their ear to the ground, and seem to have picked up a few trembles: It looks like the band, which was also commissioned to work on the soundtrack of the new Richard Kelly horror film The Box, have put the movie’s soundtrack off while they’re in the studio recording a new album.

When Kelly was asked about the soundtrack release, he responded on Twitter: “The band is hard at work recording the new Arcade Fire album. They will release the score at some point, when it does not conflict with their album release schedule for their record label.” That seems pretty definitive right there. Stereogum also recently received an anonymous tip that the band is recording at the Magic Shop studio, so it sounds like this is definitely happening. Still, you never know what to expect when it comes to release schedules, but hopefully we’ll see some concert tickets for the band in the near future.
