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.
LEAK ALREADY, ITS ALREADY ON SALE IN IRELAND AND CZECH REPUBLIC.
Soooo there are also some guys in Chicago who bought the record already…. well I’m still wating on a leak or I’ll check a record store to see if they have already put it on shelves as well.
Not yet?
It leaked. Link get deleted immediately though. I’m downloading. Look on /mu/
What is /mu/ ?
……..type “mu 4chan” on google
Seems like it is a bad quality rip like the ones before.
No, the ones before were fake stuff and audio from the trailers. This is legit
There’s a new link through /mu/
It’s a transcode, even if it says 320kbps
Fake?
No
Where can i find a link?
You can’t, clearly.
Exystence chat box. Quality is poor and “Normal Person” sounds like a live version.
Why would anyone leak all the new material but include a live version of Normal Person? Sounds fine to me, but yes, it’s not the best quality rip.
Leaked In KL !!!!!
KL?
KL?
Kingdom Leaks
What is KL? ?
Today is a great day.
Not great quality! I would wait for a better rip.
getleaks.com
i got my amazon copy today
fukers. today was the future.
i think its a vinyl rip, i can hear pops and dust noises at the end of “We Exist”. that would explain the abnormally warm and bass-heavy sound
where can i download the album :O ?
Their last.fm page has a zippy link
iTunes very soon
I agree. Balance is slightly shifted, too.
oh my god!!!this is just too good to be real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!if there is a god bless ARCADE FIRE!!!!
Newalbumreleases.net
Kingdom Leaks has it too
new album releases …
its all the same rip, as of right now
A new version has popped up: “Arcade_Fire-Reflektor-2CD-2013-P2P”. It’s a VBR rip this time. Seems to be a transcode of the transcode. So don’t get too excited about it.
“… guess it was just a reflektor” ^^
what?
KAT has one as well. Don’t know if it’s the same as the first leak.
This one is one CD – 13 tracks
The double album is 13 tracks in total.
on rutracker as well, which is open-signup russian torrent tracker
Same problems here…
until we have a copy of the album with Supersymmetry as the the full 11:16, i think it’s safe to assume these are all derivative of the original low-quality rip
Oh! That’s a good indicator! Haven’t thought of that!
There is one torrent on TPB which has Supersummetry listed as 11:16. Anyone heard that one?
No, but it has the same filesize as the other 320kbps versions. So it can’t be 11:16.
You are right
Hunting a reflektion like a bunch of cats! xD
But I’m not going to listen to this until the quality is perfect. Even if that means that I have to wait for another 7.5 hours till Amazon releases the AutoRip version.
Oh, come on!! Waiting for too long!!
Just so people are aware, this is the info on the current leak:
“Noisy analog rip — potentially Vinyl source, track lengths don’t match official, look manually cut. Missing 5 minutes of final track.”
If you really must listen to the album before it comes out, this will do, I suppose. Or you can wait until later today/tomorrow for a better rip.
I’ve listened to it all the way through. It’s not that bad of a leak – it definitely gets the job done until there’s a proper rip.
A better leak is already available on what.cd and I can assure you that it is from a CD and it sounds perfectly fine and it has the entire 11 minutes of Supersymmetry.
Anything with better quality ?
There’s one that was just uploaded which looks promising that I’m gonna check out for everyone. Gimme a few minutes.
EDIT: Nope. It’s on TPB – Supersymmetry is still cut off. Uploaded by “AB-F13”. Ignore it.
All you have to do is look at the size of the torrent/.rar. Any new 320kb rip will be over 170MB.
Yeah, I thought the main leak was 140, not 160, so that’s why I gave it a shot.
It’s up on exy now. 198MB.
what is exy?
What is exy?
If it’s a new rip, please tell!
The pirate bay has it.
They should sell the album now on itunes, i and i’m sure a lot of more people will buy it right now
