Nearly a year and a half after the release of 'The Suburbs', Arcade Fire teamed up with Vincent Morisset & friends for an interesting new project based around one of the album highlights, "The Sprawl 2 (Mountains beyond Mountains).
The idea was to create an interactive experience for the viewer. What they came up with was a "dance" activated version involving your webcam; your "dancing"(random movements, choreographed by you) will determine the speed and direction of the film. Interesting?, Yes. Unique?, Yes. Trendsetting?, unlikely but possible, as for now it simply plays out like a "Hipster" version of Xbox's 'Kinect' (in a good way).

Luckily, for those who don't wish to break out in dance...they also filmed a more "traditional version. Both versions share the same footage, shot in a very 80's fashion, circa 'The Goonies' & 'Red Dawn'.
