Arcade Fire's Win Butler Perform With Future Islands

(Radio.com) On Tuesday night when Future Islands played in Montreal, the audience was treated to more than just frontman Samuel T. Herring's impressive, aerobic dance moves.

Local hero Win Butler, aka Arcade Fire's frontman, made a surprise appearance in the middle of the band's indie hit song "Seasons (Waiting on You)."

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Butler nailed Herring's raspy register in the track. Butler's appearance also gave Herring the chance to better show off his famed Letterman moves before the pair joined in on the chorus.

The whole duet makes you wonder how and when the started talking. Presumably the pair became friends before Arcade Fire asked Future Islands to open for them at a show in Hyde Park, London, this past July.

It also makes you wonder if their friendship will take the form of a recorded collaboration sometime soon, even though they're on different labels with Arcade Fire on Merge and Future Islands signed to 4AD. Watch the performance here.
