New Arcade Fire song - radio rip

Here is a brand new song from creepy Canuck anthem-merchants The Arcade Fire, as premiered on Zane Lowe's Radio One show last week.

The band's last album, Funeral Songs, was a corking mix of overblown guitars, impassioned vocals and violins played right on that line that separates "powerful" from "screeching noise". It was nothing short of utter brilliance.

The new song, Intervention, continues in exactly the same vein - but with the added excitement of a church organ (woooh!). It probably won't be a single - the intro is far too long for radio - but it's already got me excited about the band's new album, Neon Bible.
