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.
Yes this has leaked
Uh suprised noone has pointed this out: “The album cover features Auguste Rodin, from the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice.” This isn’t the case. The album cover actually features sculptures of Orpheus and Eurydice, Rodin is the sculptor – more famously known for The Thinker and The Gates of Hell
waiting for something with a better quality.
exystence
FLAC seems to be out there as well, hope its legit
Pretty sure it’s legit. Wouldn’t have been posted on exy, otherwise.
i actually found it on a separate site, the exy link told me the FLAC download had exceeded its limit
There’s also a 320 kbps that weighs 198 MB. Gotta check that out!
I’m sorry, but what is exy? A Google search didn’t yield anything.

Much appreciated.
Just got the FLAC version – it’s legit. Supersymmetry is 11:17 and there is a hidden track that is 10:02. The total file size is 491.45 MB
that is fantastic news. hows the sound?
Fantastic – night and day difference from that crap version that was leaked earlier.
Totally agree! Awesome!
I was actually worried there for a sec, cause Arcade Fire did press Suburbs on vinyl first and rip it to CD afterwards. Thought they did an extreme lo-fi mix for this album.
But the new FLAC version is supreme quality!
The download is taking 2 plus hours for me.
Found it on wrzmusic. It came with cue + log and supposedly has a hidden first track! If this is not legit it’s an actual fake, not just a lousy copy.
That’s the legit version that I grabbed.
Sorry, missed your post!
No worries! :)
It’s legit alright! :D
Compare “Supersymmetry” for example.
The way the FLAC’s dynamic is compressed, supports the idea that the previous rip was a vinyl copy. And – of course – it’s the full 11:16.
where? :(
where?!
Man. The entire Internet must be trying to download this right now. Won’t even begin to download for me.
Where o where!?!?!
Tell us a bit about the hidden track, please.
its a 10-minute soundscape compressed of tracks from disc 1 (i believe). in reverse.
personally, i’ve flipped the track right-ways and it makes for a nice interlude between disc 1 and 2, or i have it at the end with the other soundscape after Supersymmetry
That’s a great idea! The original version of the hidden track is just too weird.
But to be honest I doubt that I will include the hidden track for “day to day use” at all. :)
yeah, i gave it one listen between disc 1 and 2 and realized its better suited at the end of disc 2 for a nice epilogue
I did the same thing!
If you come to think about it… the hidden track is a reflection of the first CD of Reflektor. Mirrored, so to speak. I think it’s the same with the end of Supersymmetry, just sped up. But I’m not sure about that yet.
The version of 195 Mb is pretty good
This album is glorious, everything sounds beautiful! buyin’ it!
Finally
Legit FLAC on RuTracker
They uploaded the whole thing at their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBjqUEMlHTY
And by checking the lenght of the tracks, the hidden track is supposed to go between disc 1 and 2.
Incredible. They launch a teaser on youtube with the full album included in this day. Incredible. Maybe the leak was planned, too.
We’ve added the full album stream above. Thanks Arcade Fire for giving us a proper alternative to piracy!
Hard to imagine another band that earned my respect so frequently. Really impressed… again…
Listening to “We Exist” and prefer the live version from their live video in Montreal… I played it so many times!
Got it off wrzmusic. Legit.
Speaking only for myself…I love this frakkin’ album. Hardly stopped listening to it.
This album is good
The album stream has since been made private.
simply a masterpiece
