News of a new Arcade Fire 12″ came last week, when a mysterious Amazon page popped up claiming that The Suburbs/Month of May was going to be released on June 1st. Since then, the Amazon page has disappeared. As if waiting for the signal, the single has leaked. But we still don’t know when you can go out and buy this thing.

“Month of May” is on the single’s AA-side and it recalls ’s early single, “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)” or a subdued Japandroids song. Throughout the song Win Butler sings, “gonna make a record in the month of May” — well it won’t be May much longer, guys. Listen to the track below:
