Here comes Reflektor.

File:ArcadeFireReflektor.jpg
Reflektor the 4th album of our favourite Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire is finally out for grabs! This double album has been co-produced by former LCD Soundsystem front-man James Murphy along with Arcade Fire and their regular producer Markus Dravs. The first track starts off with a groovy beat and we can hear David Bowie as a backing vocal cameo (who is a big fan of theirs!), towards the end of the song. This arty-arena rock band has used various styles of music and instruments which they are becoming known for, throughout this album, sometimes we see them returning to their rockier roots but none the less all the way compelling us with their arty music....it is hands down worth listening to!! :)


Tracks I suggest to listen: Reflektor, Here comes the night, Porno, Normal Person, It Never Over (Hey Orpheus), We Exist.
