Since they took over Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago and premiered a bunch of new songs during a surreal 22 minute music/comedy special, Arcade Fire have been a little quiet. A little too quiet, considering that their highly-anticipated new album Reflektor is due to be released in just a few weeks.
