Montreal indie-rock powerhouse Arcade Fire has shared the video for its new single "You Already Know," which you can check out below. The video, which was directed by frontman Win Butler, features grainy footage of the band performing in a bedroom, and though Butler sings lead on the track, he's nowhere to be found for most of the video. Instead, his parts appear to be sung by the famous works of art hanging around the room. Butler eventually appears in a mirror at the end of the video, revealing that he had been filming the entire thing himself.

"You Already Know" is the fourth video to be released from Arcade Fire's most recent album Reflektor. The album's previous videos include "Reflektor," "Afterlife," and "We Exist," starring actor Andrew Garfield as a trans woman. The "We Exist" video was the subject of considerable controversy, as many fans felt that the band should have hired a transgender actor to star in the video instead of Garfield. Among the most vocal critics of the video was Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!, who is herself transgendered.
