Reflektor is the new album by indie/alternative darlings Arcade Fire.
According to reports, the album was recorded in multiple locations over the last year, including at New York’s DFA Studios alongside former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy.
“I think it’s going to be a really great record, actually,” Murphy told Rolling Stone. “I’m eager to see it come out.”
In December, the band previewed new material during a private concert at Breakglass Studio in Montreal. The new songs were described as “dance-y and groovy,” with themes “rooted in the mid-19th century and African American history in the US.”
It's been confirmed that Reflektor is a double album since its now available to pre-order on Arcade Fire's official website. The album cover features Auguste Rodin, from the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. Check out the video for the title track below, which also confirms that the band is set to release one of the most interesting albums of 2013.

flashbulb eyes flashbulb eyes i’ve got nothing to hide…

the studio version is just too good to be real…
The masterpiece i’ve been waiting for. so much better than “reflektor”(ofc its great too but pales in comparison). Even more stoked for the new album now
to me reflektor is their centerpiece for this album, afterlife is insanely good too
Yeah but Reflektor just didnt hit me quite hard like this did.
“Reflektor” is just missing something imo that makes their older classic singles so memorable. But despite of that in the context of the album it makes just much more sense.
Reflektor es mucho mejor que esta. Posiblemente sea el temazo del album.
Because replying in spanish to english comments makes sense.
Si, porque no vaya a ser que entiendas mal lo que diga en inglés.
Just so much heart and soul in this song, reflektor is ok but if all their songs were like that they’d just be an average band, this is the kind of stuff that sets them apart.
most of the songs are avaible albeit in poor quality on you tube, so excited by this record they truly are the greatest band of our generation been a massive fan since their first ep 8 years ago , pre ordered it iTunes and vinyl still that vinyl sound , come on do a sneaky leak .
YES it has leaked = Heart Attack
wat.
Not cool Guillermo
It is not a statement, it is an equation. You understand?
It has no sense. Or, rather, no purpose.
Sí tiene sentido, quiero decir que en cuanto vea “YES it has leaked” voy a tener un ataque al corazón.
Reflektor is number 1 on our “most wanted” list for indie titles! https://hasitleaked.com/2013/the-most-wanted-album-leaks-winter-2013/
WHERE THE FUCK IS TEH LEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!11
DAMMIT
chill out man , music is beauty , it will be out on Monday am UK , pretty sure someone will get a copy early in post as well , so relax go back to their back catalogue or better still check out Edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros albums all very goood :)
PS i do feel you though i been checking 6 – 8 times a day for a leak .
ONE WEEK! they seem to be keeping a tight lid on the album, no signs of leaking.
In Germany it’s actually released on Friday. So i guess on thursday it will be available. STOKED
you made my day…
there are some links on youtube with the download link. don’t try to download the album there. they are just trying to discover your phone number in order to steal your credit….
I needs this album, like… NOW!!! D:
Unfortunately, Reflektor is unlikely to leak. People who did have a chance to hear the album (such as critics, etc) had to listen to the album in a supervised lab. They didn’t send out any digital or physical copies to anyone.
you will all most likely get the album thursday night… the album releases friday in germany and they are about 7 – 8 hours ahead of us…do the math
unfortunately i live in europe……
Y U NO LEAK?
Copies already being sold in Ireland, watch out for that leak!

this is driving me crazy. I pre ordered the album but n***a damn just leak it already
Physical copies are being sold in Ireland, prepare for a leak.
YOU TOLD ME TO PREPARE!
I think the 20 hours was necessary to prepare for an album of this calibre.
C’MON IRISH FOLKS WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU, STOP DRINKING AND GO GET IT
Hey, thats…not completely….true… and we do have a bank holiday coming up…. give us a break… :oD
You can drink as much as you want after you kindly upload it for us.
Stop man, im developing a twitch from first waiting for the Lightning Bolt leak and now this… it isnt good for the nerves
it is because the bank holiday that is on sale today….
The album is already for sale in Ireland but it hasn’t leaked. Unbelievable.
I dont think its on sale until Friday in Ireland but you can get it in the smaller record shops the day before, so it should be on the net tomorrow at the latest.
There are already pictures on the internet of Irish people with the record, obviously obtained at smaller record shops.
obviously?
Yes. Not really hard to understand, small records already started to sell the album, 2 days before the actual release.
Link the photo please, it’s not forbidden to link photos

You are all so idioot, my comment was made 4 hours ago but accepted now.
you should live more and think that everything is more complicated than it seems.
The image of a physical album in the hands of an irish bloke, allegedly posted on twitter and brought to light by Arcade Fire Tube, has vanished, so here are some (un)likely theories: a) irish people are selfish and/or unwilling to leak albums for legal reasons b) the irish are still at the pub c) it was a trick by AF to get people drooling d) it was just a reflektor
d), obviously
come on irish brothers!!!!!!!!!!!!help us!!!!!!!!
This thing is already being sold, and no leak yet… Whyy!!! D:
…And now this one
…more
I’ll just appreciate the beautiful design it has then…
Well it’s 5pm in Ireland so maybe when someone gets home from work/school they can do the deed
Fingers crossed… I’m about to lose it!!
Are you drunk?
edit: of course you are, you’re irish.
Gosh! I’m sitting here waiting for the damn leak, unable to do anything else. Imma go listen to Wasted Hours!
Only vaudou will bring the leak to the internets
