New Arcade Fire DVD now available for download

"Hello. Thank you for calling Neon Bible," begins the Arcade Fire’s new DVD, Miroir Noir. "For an important message from the founders of the Neon Bible program, please dial extention 7777 right now."

The 70-minute film intersperses musical performances—on stage, in the studio, in a hotel corridor, backstage, on a balcony, in multiple elevators—with messages left on their pre-release "Neon Bible" hotline answering machine, along with tounge-in-cheek commercial spots for "the Neon Bible" with testimonials such as, “Not believing the Neon Bible is an unforgivable sin.”

The film, directed by Vincent Morisset and shot by Vincent Moon, is available via download now at miroir-noir.com in three different sizes from $5.99 to $13.99. The DVD version will ship before March 31, 2009, and is $15.99 for the single edition or $29.99 for a Limited Edition that includes extras from the band’s Saturday Night Live and BBC performances and comes packaged in a linen-bound, accordion-folded art cover.
