Chat show host Jonathan Ross reprised his cameo on Arcade Fire‘s ‘Reflektor‘ album as the band performed on Later…With Jools Holland last night (May 27th). Have a watch of the performance of ‘You Already Know‘ below.
Joining Arcade Fire on the final live episode of the latest series were Imelda May, Wild Beasts, Sharon Van Etten, Kwabs, Damien Jurado and Hank Marvin.
“For the large part, this is a record that is fecund with songs of enduring, and continuously surprising, quality – meaning that there will almost always be something else to discover with every listen,” Live4ever’s ‘Reflektor’ review reads.
“In particular, the songs on the second disc seem to melt beautifully into one another, even with slight bum notes such as the forgettable ‘It’s Never Over (Oh Orpheus)‘. ‘Here Comes The Night Time II‘ really holds its own, beginning with elongated laments of heavy bass, cello strings and organ drones over which Butler’s voice glides, intermittently joined by Chassagne’s pretty vocals and steady bars of buzzing guitars and melodic keyboard petals.”
