On February 17 2017, Eagle Rock Entertainment release “The Reflektor Tapes” and “Live At Earls Court” by Arcade Fire on digital video. This pair of releases - which are also available as a 2DVD and 2Blu-ray set on January 27th - from this important band make for compelling viewing and truly shine fresh light on a landmark album.
“The Reflektor Tapes” is a visually stunning and hypnotic documentary about the making of Arcade Fire’s hugely successful 2013 studio album “Reflektor” by director Kahlil Joseph (who also directed Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” film). The “Reflektor” album itself claimed the No.1 position in the UK charts and was indeed a global hit. “The Reflektor Tapes” received its premiere at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. This illuminating documentary captures recording sessions, live performances and the band’s time in Haiti, a country with which they have a long-standing relationship.
“Live At Earls Court” features a stunning full live show which includes: Reflektor, No Cars Go, Rebellion (Lies), Neighborhood # 3 (Power Out), The Suburbs, Wake Up, Afterlife, Ready To Start and many more. “Earls Court” was filmed in London on 6th June 2014, during the “Reflektor” tour, and this full length live show perfectly complements the documentary release.
