reflektor

Reflektor is the spelling used in several languages for a reflector, a device or material that reflects light. Reflectors are used to improve visibility and signaling in safety equipment, road traffic applications, bicycles, clothing, and signage. There are two main types: passive reflectors, which reflect light based on surface texture, and retroreflectors (retroreflective materials), which return light toward its source to increase visibility from a distance and in low-light conditions.

In popular culture, Reflektor refers to the 2013 studio album by the Canadian band Arcade Fire. The album, their fourth, was released on October 28, 2013, and features a disco-influenced rock sound with influences from funk, Latin, and Caribbean music. It was produced by the band in collaboration with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. The album includes the title track “Reflektor,” which was released as a lead single. Upon release, the album received generally favorable reviews and was noted for its exploratory approach and themes related to identity, technology, and modern life.
