Arcade Fire preview new single
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 21 May 2010
Following the vague hint that a new Arcade Fire twelve inch single might be upon us as soon at 1 Jun earlier this week, the band have but thirty second previews of both tracks from the double A-side up on their website. Except, because they’re all quirky and that, they’ve made it sound like they’re being played off scratched vinyl.
As a result, there’s not a huge amount of information to be gained from the preview except that ‘Suburbs’ is a jaunty little number but a bit disappointing (at least in part), and ‘Month Of May’ is faster, louder, sounds like Neil Young and has awful lyrics (at least in part). In fact, the lyrics you can hear in the track are “gonna make a record in the month of May”, which makes it sound like the whole thing may have been thrown together at the last minute to lower expectations for the new album. Or something.
