2013 has been a great year for music. In addition to a number of reunions including Nine Inch Nails, and long awaited releases like Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, Arcade Fire will finally be releasing a new album.
In response to a fan's tweet earlier today, the band announced via Twitter that they will be releasing a new album on October 29th with an image attachment of some trippy images (above). This comes as a long awaited surprise since the band hasn't released any new material since 2010's The Suburbs. According to Revolt TV, our first tease of the album will be released on September 9.
See the fan's tweet and Arcade Fire's response below.
