Arcade Fire/LCD Soundsystem Offer Extra Special 7"

14th August 2007 | by Aidan Williamson

If you go down to their concerts this year, you're sure of a big surprise. An exclusive split 7" single featuring exclusive tracks from both bands.

The limited edition split release comprises LCD Soundsystem covering Joy Division's “No Love Lost” and Arcade Fire provide a cover-version of “Poupee de Cire, Poupee de Son”, which was written by controversial French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg and won the Eurovision song contest in 1965.
