Reflektor is planned for an Oct. 29 release, ending the months of guerrilla marketing campaigns and interesting promotional spots on Saturday Night Live and The Colbert Report that preceded its debut, during which the band often referred to itself as The Reflektors.

Arcade Fire will be looking to top the Billboard 200 for the second time with Reflektor, following up 2010's The Suburbs. The album before, 2007's Neon Bible, opened at No. 2.
