Arcade Fire To Release Two New Songs

Arcade Fire are set to release two new songs on a special edition of their recent album "The Suburbs".

The track, entitled "Speaking In Tongues" and "Culture War", will accompany the deluxe edition when it is released on June 27.

The re-released album will also include "Scenes From The Suburbs", Arcade Fire's recent short film directed by Spike Jonze.

"Speaking In Tongues" and "Culture War" will be given their world premiere on BBC Radio 1 on May 23.

As previously reported, Arcade Fire are scheduled to play a huge headline show in London's Hyde Park at the end of June.

Arcade Fire gave the 2011 Grammys a major shock when the Canuck band beat out rival pop stars Eminem, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry for the best album trophy for "The Suburbs".

Thanks for the report to Gigwise.com.

Edit the title, UG.

Arcade is Stephen Pearcy's old band.

I'm ****ing sick of bands releasing an album and then releasing anywhere from one to eight more versions with bonus tracks later on. I bought The Suburbs the week it came out, and there's no way I'm paying for it again.

Though I love Arcade Fire, I'm with you on this one. I really don't see the point.

Great album but I agree, they could just as easily put out the short film by itself instead of re-releasing the entire thing with only 2 more songs. I really don't want to have to put together more cash for the same thing.
