It was released on September 9, 2013, as the first single from the band's fourth studio album, ''Reflektor''. Produced by James Murphy, Markus Dravs and the band itself, the song features a guest vocal appearance by David Bowie and was released on a limited edition 12" vinyl credited to the fictional band, The Reflektors. The song came second in ''NME''s list of best singles of 2013, with only Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" finishing above it. ==Background and recording== The band began working on the track in 2011, with vocalist and guitarist Win Butler noting, "We recorded a little bit in Louisiana with the Haitian percussionists (Duprate and Verrieux Zile ) and we kind of lived with that. It's an incredibly long process."〔 The track also features contributions from regular Arcade Fire collaborators, Owen Pallett and Colin Stetson, alongside legendary English musician David Bowie. Regarding Bowie's guest appearance on the track, multi-instrumentalist Richard Reed Parry noted, "It was just after ''The Next Day'' had come out. He basically just came by the studio in New York while we were mixing, just to have a listen to the stuff we were doing. He offered to lend us his services because he really liked the song. In fact, he basically threatened us – he was like, 'If you don't hurry up and mix this song, I might just steal it from you!' So we thought, well why don't we go one better, why don't you sing on our version? Thankfully he obliged, and we were really happy about that." The very beginning of the song samples the band's first single and first song off of ''Funeral'', "Neighborhood 1 (Tunnels)" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reflektor (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
