Arcade fire to release 'The Suburbs' in August

The news that we and I'm sure many of you have been waiting for is finally here. Acrade Fire's third full-length album titled The Suburbs has a release date. It will be unleashed on August 3 in the U.S. via Merge Records in both CD and double-LP form. Merge is taking pre-orders here.

The 12" single featuring the tracks "The Suburbs" and "Month of May" was released today. We brought you the stream of those two songs yesterday which you can check out here.

The band are expected to announce tour dates soon, but for now, if you want to see them in the U.S., the only option is making the trek to Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 8.
