After serving up a somewhat mysterious trailer behind their upcoming Reflektor LP yesterday (September 4), it's been confirmed that Arcade Fire have a new single called "Reflektor" dropping this Monday (September 9).

The news was delivered by director Anton Corbjin, who confirmed with the Daily Beast that he's directed a music video for the album's title track, which will be premiered at 9 p.m. on September 9.

"I'm working on a really great song at the moment: Arcade Fire's new single," he said. "The song is called 'Reflektor,' and you'll be able to see it Monday evening…. I can't say much more than that, because it's all a surprise."

He then added, "You'll have to watch the TV Monday evening."

Fan site Arcade Fire Tube [via Consequence of Sound] adds that a 12-inch EP for "Reflektor" will hit selected record stores on Monday as well, but this has yet to be confirmed officially.

As for the album proper, it's set to arrive October 29 via Merge.
