Arcade Fire To Release New Material Within Weeks

Arcade Fire have said they expect to release new material within weeks.

The Canadian band, whose last album ‘Neon Bible’ came out in 2007, made the announcement in a handwritten postcard.

The message, posted on their website, said: “Howdy yall – just finishing up pressing our new 12.

“Should be in stores in the next couple of weeks. God willing. Good luck with finals. See you this summer! AF”

Arcade Fire are set to play a host of festivals this summer, including Reading and Leeds.
