Arcade Fire have spoken to the Toronto Star about the inclusion on their new album Neon Bible of a re-recording of the track No Cars Go, which first appeared on the band’s eponymous 2003 debut EP.

The bands’s Regine Chassagne said: “I always had an orchestra in my mind from the conception of that song. I always heard it like that in my mind. But there was no way we could have done it like that back then. I was using the accordion to imitate the strings, but I imagined it with an orchestra. Then it became an option and I wanted to do it.”

Neon Bible is out 5th March on the band’s own Imprint, Sonovox, with a single, Keep the Car Running, out on 19th March. In between the two release dates, the band will play the following shows:

8 Mar: Manchester Apollo
9 Mar: Manchester Apollo
