People have been sent postcards which say: “We missed you”. 

It seems like Arcade Fire might be on the verge of dropping some new music, judging by what they have seemingly been sending to fans. 

One person took to Reddit to share a photo of something that had arrived in the mail. The picture showed a postcard of some sheet music, with “WE missed you” written above it. In the bottom left corner is a mysterious symbol. 

“Received this in post today,” Reddit user BordonGrown wrote. “Logo at the bottom looks like the band… Anyone else received one?”

A Twitter user posted something similar:

On the other side of the postcard is a drawing of an eye with arms and legs, saying “I”. Underneath is an empty tick box next to the word “UNSUBSCRIBE”. According to the Reddit thread, similar images have been seen on stickers in central London. 

Reddit user Chapperdeemus wrote: “Saw u/BordonGrown’s post about the postcard this morning. I just walked past this sticker in London! Looks like something is happening!!

Fans took to social media to express excitement about what might be coming. One wrote: “Time to go crazy again, @arcadefire is back!”

Someone else commented: “New @arcadefire feels like a ray of light at the end of a tunnel of darkness. I’m so excited to hear the artistry again.”

Some fans, meanwhile, took to Twitter to wonder where their postcards were. One said: “I didn't get one. Do they need my address?”

If there is a new studio album from the acclaimed Canadian band, it will be their first since 2017’s Everything Now, which was their fifth record. It featured the singles Creature Comfort, Signs of Life, Electric Blue, Put Your Money on Me, and the LP’s title track.

The only new music that the band have released since then is the 45-minute song, Memories of the Age of Anxiety, for the meditation app Headspace.
