Looks like we're in for a bit of a shift next album:

I'm down. Great read.

Math-y National.

"I'd rather make a terrible record that opens up new possibilities"; well that certainly sounds promising. I mean, I obviously hope that they don't make a terrible record, but if that's what it takes to shake things up, go for it.

Patterns of Fairytales is one of my favourite National songs. I wouldn't mind them exploring that direction. Trouble Will Find Me seemed like they went as far as they can with that particular sound.

The live performances of the new songs when I saw them last week did not strike me as "new direction".

gump · 01-20-2017, 10:03 AM

They premiered a new song in a benefit show for Planned Parenthood last night. Sound quality isn't good, but it's much heavier than their last few albums.

The National Announce New Album Sleep Well Beast | Pitchfork

September 8.

U2inUtah · 05-10-2017, 09:00 PM

Fuck yeah

iron yuppie · 05-10-2017, 09:16 PM

Love the title.

Damn, I like those distorted guitars.

david · 05-10-2017, 11:19 PM

Listening now...

GirlsAloudFan · 05-11-2017, 03:25 AM

Out September 8 hahahahahahah that's absurd. Why would they possibly wait that long to release it, that's just annoying. FOUR months between announcement/lead single and the album release? Wow.

That being said, that's not ultimately important, and I will listen to the song tomorrow and I am excited and I love this band and I will almost assuredly love the song and album. But that's just stupid. I could see, on May 11, announcing an album release for July 8 or August 8. But September 8? Come on.

dan_smee · 05-11-2017, 04:03 AM

That new track is fucking sick. Pure fire.

LemonMelon · 05-11-2017, 04:21 AM

I was expecting something different based on interviews leading up to the announcement, something more electronic, but I fuck with this. Those guitars are really damn nice, which is a facet of the band's music that I rarely take specific notice of.
