Arcade Fire shared a new original 45-minute piece of music called “Memories of the Age of Anxiety.” The music is available on the meditation and sleep app Headspace; it promises “meditative vibrations to help you focus and feel inspired.”
The band’s last album was 2017’s Everything now. Last year, a new Arcade Fire album was promised when Win Butler said work on a new album was “flowing” in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic closure. The group performed a new song called ‘Generation A’ on Stephen Colbert’s special in 2020.
Everything now– featuring ‘Creature Comfort’, ‘Signs of Life’ and the title track, was promoted with free cereals and fake news articles. After that, they recorded a version of a 1941 Disney song for Tim Burton’s 2019 movie Dumbo.
