Arcade Fire to start work on new album
Arcade Fire have revealed that they’ll begin work on their follow-up to last year’s Reflektor shortly after their upcoming Hyde Park show.
Win Butler and co play the London outdoor venue this evening (3 July), having recently headlined Glastonbury over the weekend.
“We’re in a position now where we can have an idea and the people around us to make it happen,” Butler told NME. “It starts when you get off the road. If I ever feel bored now, it’s the best feeling in the world, because I know that’s when the next idea is going to come into my brain and it will start again.”
Butler also had some positive words to say about Glasto too, stating that it’s “still got this purity to it which is very in line with how our band thinks about music”.
Arcade Fire play London’s Hyde Park tonight as part of the British Summertime Festival.
