Arcade Fire Tap Spike Jonze

11/22/2010
. (Gibson) Arcade Fire have re-teamed with director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Where the Wild Things Are), this time for a music video that brings their single "The Suburbs," available December 20, eerily to life. The band previously worked with Jonze when he commissioned a new version of their song "Wake Up" for his 2009 film Where the Wild Things Are.

Last spring Jonze told MTV that he wanted "The Suburbs" video to play out like a short film. Captured in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, the music video features a group of bored teenagers riding bikes, shooting off BB guns, getting into trouble and eventually getting in over their heads.

"It was great just hanging out with these 15-year-olds for a week and writing down all the funny things they said," singer Win Butler told Pitchfork.com. "It was cool to revert to being a 15-year-old for a little while." - more on this story
