New Panda Bear/Arcade Fire!

This weekend brought some rather surprising news on the status of new music from some of my favorite artists. Panda Bear (of Animal Collective) is releasing his first single from the upcoming Tomboy LP sometime in mid July. The release date for the LP itself is just as ambiguous, but it's rumored to be out by September. The Tomboy single will be the first Panda Bear track released since 2007's fantastic Person Pitch, and the first in a series of singles proceeding the release of the new album. Sounds like I'm going to be purchasing a lot of 7ins this summer!
As if new Panda Bear material wasn't enough to get me through the weekend, we also got some rather cryptic news regarding The Arcade Fire. A banner appeared on the band's website touting the rlease of something entitled The Suburbs, but was quickly removed once the web buzz began. After some denials and shirking of attention, it was finally confirmed that the band would be releasing a new single containing The Suburbs as well as another new tune entitled Month of May. The single is being released on June 1st, so we only have about two weeks to wait!
