Arcade Fire
Found In The Suburbs — In the run-up to the release of Arcade Fire's forthcoming album, Reflektor, we take a moment to trawl through the archives and recall a story that still resonates. In 2011, the band teamed up with director Spike Jonze for Scenes From the Suburbs - an emotive short film that brought to life the storyboard embedded in their acclaimed 2010 release, The Suburbs. Together, they found their way back to their roots and returned with a film that speaks of the future.
