Cool art, was starting to worry it would look like the single one.

From AFtube: The #Reflektor album cover (unconfirmed) is from a Greek legend, Orpheus and Eurydice. Statue made by Auguste Rodin.

 

 

Eurydice was the wife of Orpheus, who loved her dearly; on their wedding day, he played joyful songs as his bride danced through the meadow. One day, a satyr saw and pursued Eurydice, who stepped on a viper, dying instantly. Distraught, Orpheus played and sang so mournfully that all the nymphs and deities wept and told him to travel to the Underworld to retrieve her, which he gladly did. After his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone, his singing so sweet that even the Erinyes wept, he was allowed to take her back to the world of the living. In another version, Orpheus played his lyre to put Cerberus, the guardian of Hades, to sleep, after which Eurydice was allowed to return with Orpheus to the world of the living. Either way, the condition was attached that he must walk in front of her and not look back until both had reached the upper world. Soon he began to doubt that she was there, however, and that Hades had deceived him. Just as he reached the portals of Hades and daylight, he turned around to gaze on her face, and because Eurydice had not yet crossed the threshold, she vanished back into the Underworld. When Orpheus later was killed by the Maenads at the orders of Dionysus, his soul ended up in the Underworld where he was reunited with Eurydice.

 

I remember that legend. :wacko: It all makes sense now. :D

They're playing at the Montreal Salsateque at 9 tonight ("formal attire or costume mandatory") and this is presumably from iTunes:

THE CLOCK STRIKES 9 ON 9/9 FOR THE REFLEKTORS

 

“Thought you would bring me to the resurrektor…”

 

As 9 o'clock pm creeps around the globe on the 9th day of the 9th month, Reflektor, (the latest offering from Arcade Fire) becomes available from participating stores across the planet.

 

We can confirm that David Bowie has supplied a brief backing vocal on the James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) produced track (no saxophone though), which is being issued under the alias of The Reflektors in the reflekting sleeve pictured here.

 

The vinyl is a very limited 2-track 12" with an instrumental of the A-side on the reverse and will only be available in stores at 9:00pm at your nearest participating store.

 

The reverse of the sleeve is designed to look like it has an album tracklisting for the upcoming album due on October 29th, but it is in fact just snippets of lyrics from Reflektor.

 

There will also be an Anton Corbijn directed video of the song premiered this evening.

 

Keep an eye on http://reflektor.arcadefire.com/ and http://www.thereflektors.com/ for updates.

WORLD TOUR?!?! I'M KEEPING MY HOPES UP!!! :dance:

 

On the topic of the song though, I find it an instantaneous like, which is rare for an AF song for me. Most of it takes a while for me to get into, like it has to grow on me. No complaints, maybe a little worried as most bands these days are taking a turn from what they used to be, but all the same, still excited for the new album! :wacky:

maybe i have to hear the whole album but hopefully its better than the suburbs, which i liked but had waaay too many filler songs. altho this sound is really different from their previous albums and sort of just took the Mountains Beyond Mountains route of electronic glittery rock songs which i think is ehhhhh :sad:

Fangirl :p

 

 

Ha! I just had to share that info! these will be the toughest tix to get in town considering they are pretty much alotted and Tina Fey is hosting and it's the 1st show of the season. So excited for the band! It's quite an experience to go. got lucky a few years back when I got to go the Xmas show with Cooky and Muse was playing!
