Overview
Arcade Fire believe that albums can last in the music industry despite the rise in digital formats, they have revealed.
The band, whose album 'The Suburbs' was named Gigwise's album of 2010, say they will continue making physical albums and not give over to digital formats.
"I hope that something pure can last. A lot of things like that end up being memos. I keep trying to remember the good things that get lost along the way and trying to apply those lessons to the way the world actually is,'' frontman Win Butler told The Scotsman.
He added: ''I've been moved by albums a lot more than I've been moved by singles and we're an album band. I'm not going to stop making albums because of some fad of digital distribution.''
Meanwhile, Arcade Fire will join The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys at next year's Benicassim festival in Spain.
