After teasing new tracks to his Instagram, Win Butler has confirmed that new Arcade Fire is indeed on the way.

Over the past few weeks, the frontman has shared two clips of new songs to his personal Instagram. Now he’s decided to make it official by posting a note to Arcade Fire’s official page.

In a three-page note, Butler urged fans to stay home while the band works on new music.

“Regine and I have been writing for the last couple of years, and the band was a few months into recording new material when COVID-19 hit…We had been exploring a lot of lyrical and musical themes that feel almost eerily related to what is happening now (we actually have a song called Age of Anxiety written a year ago for Christ’s sake – ha ha )… Needless to say, the writing has intensified, and the work is flowing out… It is challenging as ever, and with just as much purpose…”

He went on to say that once fans hear the new music, it will be obvious which ones were written under quarantine.

“When you listen to the music that’s coming (…eventually…not soon…if you don’t have patience by now, you definitely aren’t reading this), you will know what we were working on under quarantine.”
