(SPOILER ALERT) The Arcade Fire got us good… They released
the single “Reflektor” from their upcoming album under the name The Reflektors
on a limited edition 12 inch single.
I won’t waste precious internet-space speculating why they did this, but
for the sake of this blog I will be referring to them as The Arcade Fire. That being said, the song is
great. All seven minutes and
thirty three seconds of it is pure gold.
It is also a huge departure from their previous albums. Starting with a similar feel to Daft
Punk’s “Get Lucky” but then getting decidedly darker tonally, this dance-ier
incarnation of the band works on a whole different level and still has
everything that makes The Arcade Fire so awesome. Interesting form, great sounds, catchy but intellectual
vocals, and well arranged instrumentals. The count down till October 29th when their full length
is released is underway, but if you are like me and can’t wait for a preview of
what is to come (maybe), stop in and pick up “The Reflektors” single on vinyl. They were kind enough to throw in the
instrumental to the song on the B side, and a digital download code. Get them while they last, because
unlike Garth “Chris Gains” Brooks' “Greatest Hits”, this limited edition won’t keep
popping up in bargain bins and Goodwill’s across America for the next
decade.
Come in and pick up your copy of REFLEKTOR...SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED!!
