It’s funny, considering that I was fairly immune to the charms of The National for a long time, I was rather pleased when an email from 4AD dropped into my inbox early this morning. Much of that is no doubt to do with just how brilliant Trouble Will Find Me was.
So yes, there is a new album from the National, their seventh, coming out on September 8. It’s entitled Sleep Well Beast and the tracklisting is as follows:
- Nobody Else Will Be There
- Day I Die
- Walk It Back
- The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness
- Born to Beg
- Turtleneck
- Empire Line
- I’ll Still Destroy You
- Guilty Party
- Carin at the Liquor Store
- Dark Side of the Gym
- Sleep Well Beast
The first track to be released from the album is ‘The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness’ and you can watch the video below:
