Arcade Fire have teamed up with Spike Jonze for the music video of the title track of their new album Suburbs.
Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler told Pitchfork in August: "We're working on a short film. It's like a science-fiction B-movie companion piece for the record... We shot it in Austin and a lot of kids are in the film, and it was great just hanging out with these 15 year olds for a week and writing down all the funny things they said. It was cool to revert to being a 15 year old for a little while."
There is currently no word from 'Fire HQ whether this music video is the aforementioned film or a trailer for a longer feature, but it stands on its own as a beautiful homage to bygone days of bike-riding freedom in idiosyncratic hometowns.
