"Month of May" got out ahead of The Suburbs, Arcade Fire's third album: when the Canadian band announced the record, they put it on a limited-edition 12-inch alongside the title track, and the album itself followed on Merge in August 2010. The band is credited with writing it, words and music, and with the arrangement.
It belongs to the record that took Arcade Fire all the way to the top. The Suburbs went straight in at number one in Canada, America, Britain and Ireland, and in 2011 it was named Album of the Year at both the Grammys and the Junos, picked up Best International Album at the BRIT Awards and won the Polaris Music Prize.
