12 The Arcade Fire - "Cold Wind"

This is a first for Interpol.
Before reading the following, let me preface by saying that they are indeed my favorite band,
and this is just objective criticism (sort of)..

Traditionally, they have not been very prolific with unreleased songs or B sides in the past-

So this comes as somewhat of a surprise.

Their bonus material in past times has mostly been in the form of remixes or "live" versions of released songs- if they did in fact record a song for this soundtrack I would be shocked (I am thinking it is a throwaway from the "Antics" Sessions).

Interestingly enough, the promos for this soundtrack that were sent out did NOT contain the new song. Was it recorded posthumously? Or to keep it off the P2P's? (for a while, at least)

Either way, it will be good to get some new music...

As for Arcade Fire, I like that band and look forward to any new music as well..

Also. "Transatlanticism" is an interesting choice. That song means a lot to me.
