Arcade Fire start recording new album

Arcade Fire have revealed that they are ready to start work on their new album.

The Canadian group, whose 2007 album Neon Bible made it to number two, admitted that they had regained their energy after taking a one-year break.

"We feel really creative right now. We're in a really good space as a band," singer Win Butler told Montreal Gazette.

Speaking about the group's mood after taking the hiatus, he added: "Everyone feels really rejuvenated and excited."

The band recently claimed that they were not rushing to record their third record.
