Not big news but they're gonna be releasing some non-music Funeral stuff this weekend to celebrate the anniversary, including some behind the scenes footage and 'rare live performance videos'. A remastered video for Rebellion (Lies) has been brought out too. Time to fill up the bathtub.

Wishful thinking I know. Think we could be on for new music next year at least.  

If it arrives next year, it’ll be later than summer for sure. Most of the band have been doing other projects all this year, and there hasn’t been a rumour or sighting regarding studio sessions or previews or anything.

Not really a direction I hope they go further towards though

Socially conscious, synth infused stadium rock? You might be a bit late on that one. :P

It’s not their magnum opus but I think it’s undeniably ‘Arcade Fire’. I just wish - and I wished this with The War on Drugs too - that they put it out as a single rather than the first taste being a live runthrough.

Hey I know you clicked on this because you thought there was something new. Alas there is not.

But this is a great article about the best yet most underappreciated album of the 2010's

Read this earlier, and... nah. I admittedly go through phases of thinking it’s either under or over appreciated in their discography depending on my mood, but mostly it largely signals the beginning of them becoming a bit naff to me. Side 2 is largely pretty great other than the opener (I’ve grown to quite like Porno), but side 1 has some stinkers on it that just irk me on the thing as a full album. Just a few too many shit and half baked ideas.

Not listened to it for a while but I always thought there was a great album lurking somewhere in Reflektor. Unfortunately (for me) it’s too long and as FF says, has too many half-baked under realised songs on it.

Cut some of the crap out and we’d be in business.

Dont be this person.
