Lyrics
The band have been touring together since 2015, and now, with 'Willows', they're officially collaborators.
It is his first new music since his departure from Arcade Fire earlier this year.
He'd not appeared with the band at their recent surprise shows.
Five years on from his solo debut, and Arcade Fire’s Will Butler is pondering his place in America, past and present.
