Arcade Fire Denies Rumors About Film Soundtrack

Win Butler speaks out: *"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."* MP3 at bottom.
