Arcade Fire’s new single is their most accessible yet. I’m probably not the only one who hears touches of ABBA in the piano part. The Swedes have great songs to their name (and a massively successful career), so who could blame Arcade Fire?

The Canadian band have announced a new album, Everything Now, to be released on 28 July. It was produced by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, Steve Mackey of Pulp, Markus Dravs and Arcade Fire themselves. The album also features contributions from Geoff Barrow of Portishead.

Ahead of the album the band released the title track as its first single.
