In front of their eighth album I am easy to find, The National have released a new title, "Light Years". The song, delicate and emotional, weighs heavily on the piano, while the singer, Matt Berninger, sings with palpable pain.
The group also revealed a video for the track, which shoots scenes from their next short film I am easy to find, directed by Mike Mills. The film, which will also be released alongside the album, stars Alicia Vikander, an Oscar winner, and is a visual mate of new music.
This month, the band will present "A Special Night with The National" in Paris, London, New York, Toronto and Los Angeles. Emissions will show projections at the beginning of I am easy to find movies and Q & A with the band and Mills, as well as intimate performances. Each show will feature special guests, including Gail Ann Dorsey in Paris and Brooklyn Youth Chorus in New York.
I am easy to find will be released on May 17 on 4AD. The album was recorded at Long Pond in Hudson Valley, NY, with additional recording sessions in Paris, Berlin, Cincinnati, Austin, Dublin and Brooklyn. He offers vocal collaborations with Sharon Van Etten, Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Lisa Hannigan and Mina Tindle. Kate Stables of This Is The Kit, Mina Tindle, Yuki Numata Resnick and James McAlister will also be present at the New York show. More guests will be announced.
After their special performances in April, The National will go on a world tour starting in June. Courtney Barnett and Alvvays will open selected shows.
