According to the Wiki “the recent purchase of a Mellotron M4000 for use by the band Arcade Fire who use it in the soundtrack for the 2009 movie The Box.”
However nothing about their use in the band other than that. Here is a live version (2010) of that song and no tron:

Greetinx, all:
Arcade Fire just came out with their album The Suburbs. The link below is to a YouTube recording of the song Half Light II:
Is that a nice new M4000 howling away? While I know most of newmellotrongroup will find the music unchallenging, I'm rather fond of this particular howl (assuming I've called it correctly) and nicer still that it's not faking strings someplace wayyyy in the background. I haven't hear a 'tron playing as a 'tron for a long very time in popular music.

PS: the tron bros probably know The Truth. Is it an M4000?
