Arcade Fire's New Video: Starring Your House



Arcade Fire have teamed up with Google to create an incredible new music video, starring whatever hometown and building you choose. 

Load up Chrome, type in the postcode of the house you grew up in, and the music video for the band's new single 'We Used To Wait' features it, via Google Street View and satellite images.

 

Called 'The Wilderness Downtown' and created by music director Chris Milk, the video opens and plays in multiple windows using HTML5 and an integrated drawing tool, and it's absolutely fantastic. 

Watch it here.
