The Arcade Fire fan community Arcade Fire Tube points out that the band played a secret show at Breakglass Studios in their native Montreal this weekend, where they debuted some new material from their forthcoming album.
The Vine reports that approximately 100 guests-- who agreed to a no phone/video/photo policy-- were treated to a few new Arcade Fire songs, described as heavily percussive, long, and "fun, dancy-y and groovy". The band performed under the pseudonym Les Identiks (as pictured on the show poster, above).
There's no date or timeframe set for the new record, but it seems as though it'll be out late next year.
Watch them perform an unreleased song reportedly called "Crucified Again" at a show in New York in October:
