The film's director Spike Jonze told Digital Spy: "I met Arcade Fire on their first record, Funeral. I loved that record and it was a record I was listening to while I wrote Where the Wild Things Are. Those songs - especially 'Wake Up' and 'Neighborhood' - there's a lot of that record that's about childhood."

Listen to an NPR conversation with Nilufer Yanya: www.npr.org
‘Life Goes On’ is the first track from a forthcoming EP. ‘Life Goes On’ is inspired directly from a recent trip to Mexico City for the Nrmal festival when the band awoke to the sound of a distorted young girls' voice bellowing across the city. Further investigation revealed the source as a recording used by scrap-collecting carts urging people to bring out old beds and washing machines. Returning to the UK filled with inspiration, Billy, Geoff and Will hot-footed it to the Invada studios to record. The resultant track features the young girl’s voice in the intro before ‘Life Goes On’. The song comes on like the strange hybrid lovechild of Santana and Sonic Youth.
