The return of Arcade Fire

Rejoice, people, for Arcade Fire have announced the release of their fifth album, to be released on July 28.

It’s entitled Everything Now and the video for the first single, the title track, can be watched below. It’s a glorious piece of uplifting anthemic work, that suggests the signs are good for the parent album.

Their collaboration with the legendary Mavis Staples , ‘I Give You Power’, which came out earlier this year, may or may not be on the album, but if you’ve missed it, you should check it out:

Finally, another new song ‘Creature Comfort’ appeared on YouTube of a performance at last month’s Primavera festival.
