The Suburbs is the upcoming third album by Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire. The album was announced May 27, 2010, and is scheduled for release on August 2 in the United Kingdom and August 3, 2010 in North America.[1][2] Coinciding with the announcement the band released a limited edition 12-inch single containing two tracks, "The Suburbs" and "Month of May".[1][3] It has not been confirmed if "Month of May" will be on the actual album or just a b-side.
Band members Win and William Butler discussed the album in an interview with National Public Radio on May 27. The album, which will be released by Merge Records, was recorded in Win Butler and Régine Chassagne's residence in Montreal, in the band's recording studio in Quebec, and in New York City.[3] The Butlers indicate that the album's title and songwriting were inspired by their upbringing in the suburbs of Houston, Texas.[4]
