After “WE”, her sixth studio album, a break was announced for Arcade Fire. The tour did not go as it should, William Butler left the band – and then there were the headlines around singer Win Butler.
After the anniversary of her debut “Funeral” last year, there could soon be news at Arcade Fire. The group changed the interface of their social media accounts. You can see a drawn pair of eyes in front of neon-pink. It is closed and makes a sad impression.
Even if nothing can be read on your own website (the last news entry is the publication of the singles “The Lightning I, II”), which has been published in 2022), of course there is already a lot of speculation online. Is there a new song this week? It will be a public surprise.
Is there a new album from Arcade Fire very quickly?
In recent years, Arcade Fire has often accompanied the idea of new records with something crooked. For “Everything Now” there was a first listening impression using a private video at a party. In addition a strange website with cynical slogans.
The Canadians are now also a little in the earnings after two rather mediocre records. Sure, other bands would have laid the bar with the predecessors with the sound of “Everything Now” and “We” career highlights, but Arcade Fire also laid the bar with the predecessors.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Win Butler also described “WE” as the band’s most political album. The musicians could record this thread again. Or there is a completely different style, which would also be a comprehensible reaction after William Butler’s departure. In any case, a resourceful Facebook user already sees parallels in the social media artwork with a “Moon Safari” single from Air.
