Had this exact same thought about a week ago when Modern Man came up on shuffle. Had to spin the whole record after that.

just got to hear the new single... holy shit.

LCD Soundsystem meets Arcade Fire. no question that James worked on this one

. total disco song... not entirely sure what i think of it just yet.

sounds like Fear of Music era Talking Heads meets Blondie

And that's great & everything, but I hope it's not too montonous sounding, or too much electronica drowning out their talents on a variety of instruments. I mean, I love their piano.

Yeah, I don't know. Part of what I liked about this band was that they were just on the end of hipster electronica but only took the best bits of its sound. I'm not sure I want them to go full on.

it sounds much much more analog than electronic though...

i wouldn't really classify this song as "electronica"

What's the name of the single? And, where'd you hear it?

i believe it's just called 'The Reflektors', but there's no info on the 12" single besides Merge Records + Sonovox Records.

a bit more...

the verses are Win singing a few lines with Regine then singing a few lines french, they sing some of the lines together, and then the hook is mostly Win singing

edit: the song is just over 7 minutes

Cool... At 7 minutes I think my only worry is that it gets monotonous, being a disco song...

it sort of does, yeah... they could easily fade out at 5:40 and it would be just as effective of a song imo

That was my one criticism of The Suburbs. Too long, they get ahead of themselves.

solace · Post by **solace** » Fri September 06, 2013 6:09 pm

much as i loved that record, i would have lopped 2 songs off it myself

Really excited about all this. Can't wait for the album to drop.

Can't imagine cutting anything off The Suburbs.

I can't wait to hear this.

Sprawl I and The Suburbs (Continued) aren't my favorites...

i also don't love Rococo (those lyrics

)
