Arcade Fire are releasing a deluxe edition of their last album, Reflektor with a bonus album of songs at the end of this week. Band member Will Butler spoke to NME about how they are beginning to work on their next record. He said: "We're all itching to play music together and start recording things.

It's a bit different this time because everyone's older and fatter and lazier, so it might take longer, but we're playing music together. Win and Regine got a place in New Orleans so I think we'll spend some time there, because why wouldn't you? But apart from that we're in the old HQ [in Montreal].
