Arcade Fire x Spike Jonze



Clearly this week is out of the ordinary for Canadian indie rock outfit Arcade Fire. First, their excellent album The Suburbs was released plus two shows at the Madison Square Garden are scheduled – one of them (August 5th) will be offered as a Terry Gilliam-directed webcast that will be aired on YouTube/Vevo at 10pm EDT. In addition, AF’s frontman Win Butler revealed that they are working together with Spike Jonze for a short movie. The famed video music director was hit by the muse after hearing the group’s album and immediately found a common vision with Butler. Hence, the project with a working title Scene from the Suburb will a science fiction B-movie highlighting accompanying the album. Scenes for this piece have already been shot in Austin, Texas back in April. We will keep you posted on the further development of this interesting project.
