Arcade Fire to Release "Intervention" Single

In the wake of the Hasselhoff video and the possible very-not-hot arrest of Paris Hilton, seems like intervention's on everybody's mind.

So, too, goes the Arcade Fire, who will supplement their current globe-conquerering tour with a 7" single for "Intervention," out on the North American continent July 10 from Merge. (May 21 in the UK.) It's backed by Calexico's take on Neon Bible's "Ocean of Noise."

Of course, we're still just days from the May 8 U.S. release of the "Keep the Car Running" single.
