Arcade Fire: There's More To Explore In Rock N Roll Music

Arcade Fire have said that they don't believe the idea that there is nothing left to explore within rock n roll music.

During an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Win Butler said there are 'still many sounds to make'.

''A lot of people get really stuck in this idea that everything's been done, and there’s nowhere left to go. Rock 'n' roll is almost the most conservative form of performance art: you play your guitar, these are the moves, this is what the songs are about, and this is the energy. I always felt like there's so many sounds to make and things to talk about in songs. There's more to life than 'I love you baby, la, la, la','' Butler said.

He added: ''I approach it more like film-making: you would never say every film has been made. You just tell another story. I thought I would try and talk directly about common experiences that aren’t that cool to talk about, which is the starting place for a lot of the art we do.''

The BRIT Award winners have revealed that they are working on material for their new album.
