Uhh, so this sucks. A few weeks Richard Kelly said in an interview, “We’re starting to work with a very famous band who is honoring us with being the first fillmmakers they’ve ever scored a film with.” and days later Pitchfork Media uncovered that the secret band scoring Richard Kelly’s new film, The Box, was Arcade Fire. Well, bad news folks, it’s not true. Win Butler, Arcade Fire’s lead singer, has made a statement:

“Hi everyone. Just to let you all know that (Internet-based fact checking aside) Arcade Fire is NOT doing the soundtrack to any film. We are all off for the summer, writing songs, reading books and keeping our plants alive. Regine, Owen Pallet [violinist Final Fantasy] and I may do an instrumental piece or two for Richard Kelly’s new movie…we met at a show this year and hit if off, but we are not planning on doing any major work for a while, and this would not constitute a soundtrack or a release.”

I guess it’s not so bad since they are doing some stuff for the film, but it would have been amazing to see hear a full score. Arcade Fire is brilliant and I’ll argue with that day and night if I have to.
