Arcade Fire is a lot like a comet: constantly moving in some sort of otherworldly orbit that we only get the chance to catch a glimpse of once every few years. When we do get the chance though, boy is it special. This time around, the band is pulling out all the stops, making the release of their new album, ?Reflektor,? set to come out on Oct. 29, that much more exciting. Information on the album, other than the fact that one was in the works, had been relatively scarce until this past summer. Then, in early August, the group launched a cryptic graffiti marketing campaign in several cities throughout the world. As the hype began to build, an interactive music video for the title-track of the album was released online Sept. 9. Several more weeks of silence followed, but then, after their Saturday Night Live performance Sept. 28, the band debuted a score of new material in a concert special entitled ?Here Comes the Night Time.?This enchantingly bizarre set features several songs as well as a plethora of celebrity guest appearances, including James Franco, Ben Stiller, Bono, Aziz Ansari and many more. The video begins with the band entering a Montreal nightclub in conga line formation, with lead singer Win Butler clad in a white suit and Michael Stipe-esque face paint, leading the viewer across the dance floor and up onto the stage.The music segues right into namesake of the concert special ?Here Comes the Night Time,? a delightfully bass-heavy track that oscillates between a head-nodding beat and a frantically fast-paced guitar and percussion breakdown. During the performance, an ironically unappreciative Michael Cera, posing as a bartender, is seen bad-mouthing the band, quipping, ?Give me Shakira any day of the week before this noise.?Another comical sketch features Zach Galifianakis and Bill Hader phoning in from outer space, also giving the band a hard time. The other two songs included in the program are ?We Exist,? another bass-driven track with some funky guitar and that Arcade Fire string section we?ve come to know and love, and ?Normal Person,? an explosive, electric guitar-laden epic.Be sure to watch the video online for the full experience, unless you?d rather listen to what will probably be Arcade Fire?s latest masterpiece with virgin ears at the end of this month.
