I think it goes without saying that most of us have been waiting for this moment for a good two years now. So, without further ado, may I present to you Arcade Fire’s “Month of May”. Listen the song here or in the SoundCloud embed below. The song is the b-side for the album’s new single “The Suburbs”. We’ll also post the stream to that as soon as it becomes available. Update: Listen to “The Suburbs” here and below.

As for the official info, the single is due for release as a 12″ on June 1st. Arcade Fire’s yet-to-be-titled third LP is expected to follow this summer, perhaps as soon as July. Below, find all upcoming tour dates, including a recent announced August 12th gig in Toronto. Tickets for that are available starting Friday.
