Watch: Arcade Fire - The Lightning I, II

Will Backler

Canadian Indie legends announce sixth studio album in fine style.

Arcade Fire

Five years on from Everything Now, today alternative indie superstars Arcade Fire announce their new album WE with epic new single The Lightning I, II. Sounding a little more “Arcade Fire-y” than their previous record, the new single is epic and uplifting, gaining momentum as the track builds and builds across it’s five and a half minute runtime, before going out in a crescendo of sound…

Out May 6, WE is "as much about the forces that threaten to pull us away from the people wwe love, as it is inspired by the urgent need to overcome them. WE's cathartic journey follows a definable arc from darkness into light over the course of seven songs divided into two distinct side". We can't wait to go on that journey.
