In a series of Instagram posts uploaded yesterday, Win Butler of Arcade Fire confirmed that the band is working on a new album, and that they were already "a few months into recording new material" when the coronavirus outbreak caused mass quarantine.
"We had been exploring a lot of lyrical and musical themes that feel almost eerily related to what is happening now,” Butler explained in the post. “Needless to say, the writing has intensified, and the work is flowing out... It is challenging as ever, and with just as much purpose.”
"When you listen to the music that’s coming (...eventually...not soon…if you don’t have patience by now, you definitely aren’t reading this), you will know what we were working on under quarantine, Butler wrote. "Sending love and light! Take care of yourselves, friends, family and neighborhood."
