The Eighties band are currently back in the studio working on the follow up to their 2004 album, Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, but their first taste of new music is a cover of Arcade Fire’s ‘Ready to Start’.
On their official site, the band wrote: "Having appreciated artists like Kanye West, Katy Perry, Kimbra, Nas, Gary Jules/Michael Andrews, Adam Lambert & Dizzee Rascal covering & sampling our songs over the past years, we agreed that some reciprocal cross-generational love was in order. We decided to give Arcade Fire a twist of TFF. Enjoy."
The track, from the Canadian band’s third album ‘The Suburbs’, is a firm fan favourite.
