Reflektor, Arcade Fire's fourth studio album, was recorded primarily at the Soho Studios in New Orleans and other locations between 2012 and 2013. The album was produced by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, alongside the band members, marking a significant shift toward dance and electronic influences compared to their previous work. The production process involved extensive use of synthesizers, drum machines, and electronic production techniques, with Murphy's production philosophy emphasizing groove and accessibility. Recording took place over an extended period with multiple sessions, and the album featured contributions from various musicians including David Bowie on the title track. The album was released in October 2013 and represented a deliberate artistic evolution for the band, incorporating Murphy's electronic music expertise to create a more club-oriented sound while maintaining Arcade Fire's orchestral pop sensibilities.
