Lazy and entitled... I guess it's true what they say about Millennials.

 

[BoMac]

New single Everything Now will drop on Friday.

And apparently the new album may be titled Infinite Content.

 

[namkcuR]

Hoping it's not like Reflektor.

And apparently the new album may be titled Infinite Content.

This sounds like a title from Father John Misty's new album.

 

[nielsgov]

There was a video of a Spanish record store owner playing the vinyl. It has of course been taken down. The sound wasn't the best as people were constantly talking but I wasn't exactly impressed.

 

[david]

Wow, they left Merge for Columbia. Interesting.

 

[u2popmofo]

New single Everything Now will drop on Friday.

I thought they released it yesterday?

 

[BoMac]

I'm not sure. I thought they only started selling the 12" vinyls, but the song would drop tomorrow.

 

[u2popmofo]

Pitchfork has a video of people listening to it, but you can hear them talking through the whole song. It's nice regardless.

 

[nielsgov]

That's the video I was talking about. I thought it was deleted.

 

[u2popmofo]

That's the video I was talking about. I thought it was deleted.

You thought wrong!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Album on July 28! Sweet.

And, with each subsequent album release date, the more preposterous it looks that the National album isn't out until fucking September.

And a tour announcement: Everything Now

 

[david]

He sounds like Damon Albarn during the first 40 seconds. (In the video version)

 

[namkcuR]

On first listen, I'm underwhelmed. I hear the Abba-ness, and there's a pretty keyboard melody in there, but on the whole it's not grabbing me. Not really feeling any urge to listen again.

 

[phanan]

I rather liked it myself.

 

[david]

It's aight.

 

[corianderstem]

The beginning had me worried, but then I liked it a lot once it kicked in.

 

[LemonMelon]

Man, I really like this. The texture those strings and guitar swells offer is so nice.

 

[u2popmofo]

How does the presale work tomorrow?

 

[cobl04]

I mean, if people end up fawning over this shit but at the same time knock The National or whoever else for their sound, I'm gonna be pretty pissed off.

It's a great song, but just like that first BSS single, it's everything they do put in a blender and pumped out in one song. Like all great bands, they make it work tremendously well, but it sounds exactly how I would expect a new Arcade Fire song to sound.

It's got chamber pop elements to it, but I'm not hearing much on this from their previous albums outside of Reflektor. It's reasonably original for them.

 

[cobl04]

It's the style, mostly. It's an Arcade Fire song through and through.

I'm with you. It's merely ok, and that's not what I'm expecting from the new Arcade Fire single.
