Arcade Fire Stream New Short Film 'Scenes From The Suburbs'

Arcade Fire are currently streaming their new short film Scenes From The Suburbs online. Head to Mubi.com to watch it now.

The film, which has been directed by "Where The Wild Things Are" and "Being John Malkovich" man Spike Jonze, is also included on the new deluxe version of the band's last album "The Suburbs".

"Scenes From The Suburbs" tells the story of troubled teenager Kyle's adventures over a summer and how he deals with the dramatic changes in character of his friend Winter.

Speaking to NME about the film recently, Arcade Fire's multi-instrumentalist Will Butler said of the film: "Hopefully it doesn't explain the album more. We wanted it to be another slant, coming from the same place, so that the songs kind of illuminate the film and vice versa."

Arcade Fire headline London's Hyde Park this Thursday (June 30) in what will be their largest UK show to date.

Thanks for the report to NME.com.

It's alright.

Hate this band. Have listened to all the albums multiple times. So bland and boring.

I use to absolutely hate Arcade Fire. Could not listen to them whatsoever. Then, randomly, I bought The Suburbs. Let me say, I rate that album as one of the greatest albums of all time, and they deserve every award they won for it. If Arcade Fire is not your thing, that's cool, they are one of those like-it-or-not sort of bands. All I ask is that you show respect to fellow musicians.

Greatest and most beautiful band of our times.
They make me smile, cry and dance at the same time.
