Arcade Fire Releases Track Listing for New Album in Very Unusual Way
I’ve never really understood the point of releasing the tracklisting of a yet-to-be-released album. There’s very little we can parse from most song titles before we can actually hear the songs or read the lyrics, so why bother? The only thing I can come up with is that fans might want to know what new material to expect if they go see the act before the album is released.
That being said, a Twitter account called Everything Now, which went online June 3, has turned the release of the tracklisting for their upcoming Everything Now album into a puzzle game. Follow the tweets. Anyone know of a link where someone has figured everything out?

The @arcadefire asked us not to reveal the #EverythingNow track list, but they didn’t say we couldn’t do ANAGRAMS! So here we go.

Track one is… New Worse Goth Vinyl. Or maybe it’s Wow Thong Inversely. ?

Track two is a nice night, aka Worthy Evening. ?️♀️

Track three is a pretty sibling who hits the links: Fine Golf Sis. ⛳️?

The next track (sort of track four) is either the highly political “Torturer Of Mecca” or the lost Ibsen play “Rectum, Roofer, Cat”

Pausing the anagram track list reveal while our lawyers have a friendly chat with the band’s. Stand by for more ‘grams. #EverythingNow

The request for injunction against track list anagrams was DENIED. Anagrams continue shortly! #EverythingNow

Track five is when you get mad about Easter candy and go on a “Peep Rant” ????

If track six was a collab with A$AP Mob (not saying it isn’t) it would be called “My Rich Set.” ?? #arcadeanagrams

Track seven might be a lost Cannibal Corpse song: “Tenant Fist Infection” ? #arcadeanagrams

You can make your own #arcadeanagrams too! @AF_0ff1c1al has the spirit!

Track 8 (sort of, you’ll see) is something you don’t want to hear from your doctor: “Tit Fin Entwines Colon” #arcadeanagrams
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
If the band ever remixes track 9 it should definitely be called “Electric Lube.” ?
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
Track 10 makes a strange sort of sense: “God Among Odd.” ? #arcadeanagrams
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
Track 11 will sound awesome at Burning Man: “Your Nun Mom, Peyote” ?
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
And finally (sort of): “Two Revolves Needed.” ? And then you can start again. #arcadeanagrams
