Arcade Fire Album In 2010?

Arcade Fire

It looks like Arcade Fire may finally have started recording the follow-up to 2007's Neon Bible.

Richard Kelly, director of The Box, which has a score written by Arcade Fire's Win Butler, Regine Chassagne and Final Fantasy main dude Owen Pallett, tweeted as much on Thursday.

"The band is hard at work recording a new Arcade Fire album," he wrote. "They will release the score [to The Box] at some point when it does not conflict with their album release schedule for their record label."

That should conceivably send the blogosphere into a tizzy.

Stereogum reports that Arcade Fire have been working on the follow-up to Neon Bible for "the last three weeks" at The Magic Shop studio in New York City.

This summer Butler told NME the band were in the middle of writing the album, which doesn't have a title yet.

"None of us want to take three years making a record," he said then. "It could be that we'll play live [soon] and maybe we'll end up bashing it out fast. We're in the middle of writing, things are coming together, it's a great feeling."

Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" was recently used in the trailer for the Where The Wild Things Are film.
