Arcade Fire are developing quite the reputation as video adventurers, whether by taking a Chrome-driven trip through an intimate hometown experience for "We Used To Wait" or, as their latest offering unveils, a short film about the death of youth.
Quirktastic director Spike Jonze teams up with Arcade Fire for a new thirty-minute short film inspired by their smash album, The Suburbs (read our review), and its themes of war and coming of age in suburbia.
Co-written by Jonze & Arcade Fire’s Win Butler & Will Butler, this companion piece to the album follows the narrator, living in a suburban dystopia, trying to piece together fragmented memories from when he was a teenager, and his experiences with his friends as they grow apart.

Scenes From the Suburbs will also be included in the deluxe release of The Suburbs, which will be released on August 2nd via Merge Records.
