It looks like Arcade Fire has something in the works for 9/9 at 9pm. This website has a map of different locations. www.thereflektors.com/9pm99/ If there is already a thread talking about this, lock this one up

Reports have also now surfaced that Arcade Fire played a tiny, secret show at the Montreal salsa club Salsathèque on Wednesday, September 4, as Arcade Fire Tube points out. They debuted new, "dance-oriented" songs, according to a report from Montreal blog The Main, performing on a lit-up disco floor. Cell phones were allegedly banned, according to The Main.
The Main described the set:
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.

Little James Murphy influence there perhaps. I like the description.
if you missed it... i saw flight of the conchords on saturday night and all i can think about is how this song sounds like inner city pressure by them.

I usually don't like many hyped songs the first run through, I guess I just set my expectations too high. I really liked this the first time through though.
Just to clarify, I'm not gonna pass judgement on the album till I hear more than a track. It really was just that song. I wasn't a fan of The Suburbs at all, but live those songs made sense to me. Perhaps this is the same, I'd just need to witness it before I found the greatness.

The song is awesome. Best way I can describe it is like a mash-up of "Emotional Rescue" and "Enjoy the Silence" over a relentless disco beat. Hope there is a radio edit so AF can have a mainstream breakthrough.
The word is it'll be a double album, but only 13 songs. Therefore, lots of extended tracks like Reflektor.
The director of Big Day Out said last month AF wants to do a stadium tour of North America, no festivals, which sucks for Bonnaroo, but we'll see.
I dig the track, but I have talked to a lot of friends who have mixed feelings about it. I think most like it, but feel that AF isnt making the AF music that we have all grown to love. This song is too simple for Arcade Fire, they arent making something that leaves us in awe...they are essentially falling into place with the likes of the "Get Lucky" crowd. Maybe it's their push towards a mainstream breakout? Personally I like it, but I can see where my friends displeasures are coming from.....They have a lot to live up to with this LP and hopefully it all pans out.
For me, this single falls pretty squarely in the middle of their catalog as far as how much I'm digging it. It's not bad at all, I actually quite like it, but compared to some of their other work it's pretty middle of the road.
