The Arcade Fire will begin recording their new album this month. They bought a church and converted it into a studio for the process. It appears we'll have to wait until fall for the release, though.

And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead is currently in the studio recording. However, they haven't decided whether what they're recording right now will be an EP or their next full length. If it turns out to be a full length, then they'll be working on it throughout the winter and will hopefully have it done by early spring, which means it'd be out in the summer or fall. If it ends up being an EP, it'll have four songs and will be out in the spring.
