Arcade Fire are working on fifteen songs for the follow-up to last year's 'Funeral'.
Writing on the band's official website, singer win Butler gave the following progress report:
"Just letting you know that things are going very well here in the studio. We have maybe fifteen songs with little bits left to record and a few more we want to get to tape. We are going to try and record a couple of songs in me and Regine's living room, because the drums sound so great in there...Feeling excited and inspired, learning to play all these new instruments...Well mostly Regine to be honest! It's gonna be really interesting how we're going to fit all of these new sounds in a tour bus. This week we are recording a huge fucking pipe organ on 2 songs...what an incredible sound!"
As yet there is no title for the record and no fixed release date.
