Comment: People of good faith may disagree but despite my dubbing Arcade Fire the loser of the week, I love Reflektor, it is overlong, self-indulgent and hit and miss but when it hits it’s among their best work ever. Otherwise: new stuff from Juliana Hatfield, Kelly Clarkson, Los Campseinos… that should get you through the week!
