After weeks of rumors that a new Arcade Fire album (title still unknown) was in the final stages of mixing, two new singles from the popular Montreal indie pop band have made their way to the web late this afternoon.
Earlier in the week, we published two very short and low quality samples of these songs via a widget from Arcade Fire’s official website.
How the songs actually made their way on to the Internet is not clear, but if the band planned it just in time for the kick-off to summer (Memorial Day Weekend), it’s a brilliant move. Notice both songs make references to life in the suburbs.
What do you guys think of one or both of these new songs? The best comment (like a review of the songs) will win a copy of the CD when it’s released – we hear “sometime this summer”.
“The Suburbs” – Arcade Fire
“Month of May” – Arcade Fire
