Arcade Fire’s “Reflektor” hits the web, appears to feature David Bowie & James Murphy

 

Arcade Fire Mysteries Continue: "Reflektor" Cover and Release Details, Secret Show at Salsa Club

 

The show was unexpectedly dance-oriented, due to the upbeat rhythms of conga drums and electronic flourishes alongside their most poppy sounds. Although the song lyrics shared the same themes as past releases, they traded their somber orchestral sound for something more contemporary...

The standout track featured various musical directions and sudden tempo changes, sandwiched between the boisterous repeated choruses of "Here comes the night". Imagine the Talking Heads’ "Once in a Lifetime", but if David Bowie had written it while on vacation.

It's so nice for a radiohead style "here is the album, it is out next week", rather than a typical "the album will come out in 3 months time"

"On July 12, the band announced via a reply on Twitter that their new album will be released on October 29."

I am loving this song but I can't help of being reminded of PARTS of this song:

I couldn't put my finger on it at first but the "just a reflektor/(reflection?)" part sounds a lot like the "inner city pressure" robot voice to me!

 

Not pretending that this is some huge find or anything it just made me laugh...

Coldplay has been my favorite band since Parachutes. I pretty much knew it was gonna be my favorite of the year even before I even heard it!

 

Of course I prefer Atlas :D I'm speaking objectively that it will be a toss up for critics for the better song, IMO. I can't get over Atlas' ending though.

Trapped in a prism

In a prism of light

Alone in the darkness

Darkness of white

We fell in love

Alone on a stage

In the reflective age

Entre le nuit, le nuit et l’aurore.

Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts.

If this is heaven

I don’t know what it’s for

If I can’t find you there

I don’t care

I thought I found a way to enter

It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

I thought I found the connector

It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

The signals we send

Are deflected again

We’re still connected

But are we even friends?

We fell in love when I was nineteen

And I was staring at a screen

Entre le nuit, le nuit et l’aurore.

Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts.

If this is heaven

I need something more

Just a place to be alone

Cause you’re my home???

I thought I found a way to enter

It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

I thought I found the connector

It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

It’s just a reflection of a reflection

Of a reflection of a reflection

Will I see you on the other side?

We all got things to hide

It’s just a reflection of a reflection

Of a reflection of a reflection

Will I see you on the other side?

We all got things to hide

Alright, let’s go back

Our song escapes

On neon silver discs

Our love is plastic

We’ll break it to bits

I want to break free

But will they break me?

Down, down, down

Don’t mess around

I thought I found a way to enter

It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

I thought I found the connector

It’s just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

Thought you would bring me to the ressurector

Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

Thought you would bring to me the ressurector

Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

Thought you would bring to me the ressurector

Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

It’s a Reflektor

It’s just a Reflektor

Just a Reflektor

Will I see you on the other side?

It’s just a Reflektor

Will I see you on the other side?

We all got things to hide

It’s just a Reflektor

Will I see you on the other side?
