Is the Arcade Fire Going on Hiatus?

At a concert I attended on Randall's Island on Saturday, Win Butler divulged to the audience that the Fire would not be returning to New York for "a couple of years." What's going on?

First of all, they unveiled that mysterious website that everybody was talking about. Turns out it's an awesome interactive video for "Neon Bible." Move Win's hands! See Win's eyes follow your cursor! Do it now!

In terms of Butler's words on Saturday, my money is on a break with new projects. Of course, they could be recording a new album or collectively hiding under a rock...

Here's the setlist for the show on Saturday (via Brooklyn Vegan):

1. Black Mirror
2. Keep the car running
3. Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
4. No Cars Go
5. Haiti
6. I'm Sleeping in a Submarine
7. My Body is a Cage
8. Cold Wind
9. Intervention
10. Antichrist Television Blues
11. The Well and the Lighthouse
12. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
13. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
14. Rebellion (Lies)

Encore:
15. Headlights Look like Diamonds
16. Wake Up

Encore 2:
