Last weekend, Arcade Fire posted a postcard on their website, letting the world know that their new 12" single would be out in "a couple of weeks." And now, we can hear a pair of tantalizingly short snippets of the two new songs, with vinyl pops and scratches added in, on the band's website. Check it out here.

From the look of things, the new single will indeed be titled "The Suburbs" b/w "Month of May", as was rumored. Judging by the few seconds we get to hear, "The Suburbs" sounds like a sunny lope, while "Month of May" sounds like a fairly ferocious punk/rockabilly rager, with Win Butler singing, "Gonna make a record in the month of May / When the violent wind blows the [something] away." Hey, May! That's now!
