Arcade Fire are contributing the previously unreleased/new(?) track "Lenin" to Dark Was The Night, a 4AD charity compilation for the Red Hot Organisation, an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS.
We don't yet know for sure if "Lenin" is the same song as the fabled "When Lenin Was Little", or when the recording might date from.
The album is due on February 16th worldwide, and February 17th in North America.
The double cd/triple vinyl/download was produced by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National (and Clogs, etc) fame and it features a rather stunning tracklisting (details after the break).
