Tom Ravenscroft has a live session from Arcade Fire, who return to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Maida Vale studios, whilst in London for three dates at Wembley.

Arcade Fire rose to prominence with their 2004 debut, Funeral. Their fifth album launched last summer with the pan pipe-filled, disco-tastic title track Everything Now.

Lead singer Win Butler chats about performing in a boxing ring, surprise guests, and the joy of touring with The Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

We also have a half hour of music picked by the listeners in this week's People's Playlist, which is themed around silence (whilst not being remotely silent).
