Arcade Fire teases new songs at top secret Montreal show
The Canadian band is releasing a new album this summer, and 50 fans got a taste.
Arcade Fire is releasing a new album this year and a handful of fans got to preview some of the songs at a top secret gig in Montreal last light.
According to the Montreal Gazette, approximately 50 guests were sent to a space on Parthenais Street where they were asked to check their cell phones at the door.
The lucky fans were then treated to half a dozen songs from the album, whose title has yet to be released, as well as tracks from earlier albums Reflektor and The Suburbs.
One attendee said the new songs are in the same pop/electronic vein as Reflektor.
No release date has been set for the album, but the band is known for hosting secret shows in advance of album releases, and so the show could be a hint it's coming soon.
The band kicks off a European tour in Barcelona, Spain, on June 3; the only North American date announced so far is at Lollapalooza in Chicago on Aug. 6.
