Arcade Fire have announced a new album, their first since frontman Win Butler was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women in 2022. The WE follow-up is called Pink Elephant, and it’s out May 9 via Columbia. Butler produced it with Régine Chassagne and Daniel Lanois. It’s led by the single ‘Year of the Snake’, which comes with a music video made in collaboration with David Wilson and Mark Prendergas. “It’s the season of change, and if you you feel strange/ It’s probably good,” goes the chorus, and I really hope people buying into it are at least aware of the context. That’s it below, and you can scroll down to see the album cover and tracklist.
