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.
Definitely.
What’s with all the drunk Irish comments? Come on Internet, we’re all here for the same reason

I need a leak!!!
http://twitter.com/REFLEAKTORS ?
Leaked!
Nice
Where???
this mediafire link “Reflektor leak” is a fake.
It is, but there’s bits on there I’ve never heard before, i think (like the voice-only end of Afterlife). Perhaps a prank by AF?
It’s from one of the teasers. Official song is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r75BFcH4u2k
who the fuck cares gimme the album insteaddd
The voice only Afterlife is from one of the teaser vids. I think the iTunes or Spotify one. Not sure which, heard it before though.
Edit – found it, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fmrt1JAops
Ah ok, cheers for the heads up
the dropbox link is also fake (same zip as before).
Cmon folks
fuckerz. today is not the day.
This is causing me physical pain
Today has to be the day! The album is being sold an it’s not leaked ? I can’t understand it…
Oh please, please, please, let me, let me, let me, let me get what I want this time! :(
really, I can’t wait any longer.

The irish Bloke
Where has he gone?
Where did he go
I just wanna pop my pussy and twerk it out to the reggaeton breakdown on Here Comes the Night Time
ok, i give up. :(
good night everyone.
Seriously, Ireland? Ya can’t get the magic up on the interwebz yet? Disappointing. You too, Czech Republic.
Fun Fact: The Suburbs was released on August 2, 2010 but it leaked on July 24, 2010. I guess the labels are getting better on preventing leaks.
It was a conscious step on the part of AF and their manager or whomever to have listening sessions for journalists and critics rather than distributing early copies to them. They can only delay shipment to retailers for so long, so that’s why copies are trickling out now.
Y “Neon Bible” se filtró casi un mes antes de su salida oficial!
The album has been sold in Ireland yet.. and the fucking idiots are not able to leak..
Hey Fernando, It’s not the frustration of reflektor coming out.. It’s yourself… Make sure u don’t run out of baby oil before the release
I think we’ll be getting it soon. Something has to give. Just one person has to upload it.
maybe I’m taking this too far, but the (original) leak zip contained some (fake) mp3s and a copy of itself. just a reflection of a reflection? it seems strange that they wouldn’t exploit the release moment after doing the whole #newmystery thing and the reflektor campaign. thoughts?
…
Yeah. Totally.
I’d say you’re looking too much into it. lol

Thinking of those two irish dudes who have the album and made fun of everyone asking for a leak. Dicks.
apparently some guys in chicago have bought it as well.
Haha
WHERE THE HELL IS THE LEAK? seriously guys, any irish here?
xD
What does xD mean?
sight, it means laughing so hard you close your eyes.
Seriously…
I had posted a comment earlier about how it was going to leak on a certain day. That day, was the day in which the early copies of Reflektor were shipped to those few independent record shops received their shipments. (I know this, because I am the manager of one of those shops.) I would’ve figured that a buyer would’ve leaked the album by this point, after some copies have since long-been purchased but apparently the IQ of those buyers were a lot lower than I thought they were. Do not fret, HasItLeaked community, you shall get your Reflektor fix yet.
Apparently, this user in LastFM has the album: http://www.lastfm.es/user/lazarus1969 I sent him a PM.
This site reports 2 leaks… Both bs?
both are fake
This site hasn’t reported any leaks
Above it says 2 level 1 leaks… First time on the site, so apologies if I’m off on the protocol
They probably were both bs, yeah.
Oh weird I don’t see that Duddy_17.
Edit: I see it now. You’re right.
That’s why we have the level system. Those were from two new users – I checked them, both of them were fake and they’ve now been removed. Once there’s a legit leak, you’ll notice – Guaranteed ;)
