Arcade Fire's Will Butler Shares New Christmas Song

BY Brock ThiessenPublished Dec 24, 2015

If you've been on the lookin' for this year's "hot new Christmas jam" (with some cussin'), here you have it: Arcade Fire bro Will Butler has shared the newly penned yuletide offering "City on a Hill."

Following in the wake of his Policy, as well as "Christmas 2014," the track is a sombre addition to the holiday songbook, with slowly paced piano movements backdropping Butler's darkly weaved musings. And, yes, this likely isn't one you want to play alongside grandma and grandpa thanks to massive F-bombs dropped as Butler urges us to "light up the lights" and not die from terrorist bullets and radical spies.

Get festive with it yourself below.

As of yet, there's still no sign of Butler's previously hinted live effort.
