Dopo aver comunicato la fine delle registrazioni e del mastering del nuovo album, i National hanno ufficializzato l’uscita della loro ottava fatica discografica.

I Am Easy To Find verrà rilasciato il 17 maggio 2019 via 4AD.

La band di Cincinnati lo ha reso noto con la pubblicazione del trailer ufficiale dell’omonimo shortfilm diretto da Mike Mills (20th Century Women e Beginners) che vede come protagonista il premio Oscar Alicia Vikander.

Il corto è stato ispirato dal nuovo disco della band di Matt Berninger, la quale ne ha curato la colonna sonora.

Inoltre è stato diramato il seguente comunicato:

We are very excited to announce ‘I Am Easy To Find’, a short film directed by Mike Mills starring Alicia Vikander, and ‘I Am Easy To Find’, our new album out May 17th on 4AD. The former is not the video for the latter; the latter is not the soundtrack to the former. You can watch the trailer HERE and pre-order the album now. Film release details to follow.

The first album single ‘You Had Your Soul With You’ features vocals by the amazing Gail Ann Dorsey. Click HERE to listen.

A world tour begins this June, and we’re thrilled to have Courtney Barnett and Alvvays joining us at many of the shows. See all tour dates below. Tickets on sale Friday, March 8th at 10AM local time.

Each ticket for the newly announced North American headlining dates (including the April North American performances announced last week) comes with a redemption code for a digital copy of the ‘I Am Easy To Find’ album. You also have the choice to use your redemption code to upgrade (at an additional cost) to a physical album (LP or CD) instead. Festival performances (including the Ogden Twilight Series) and performances outside North America do not include a digital or physical album redemption. Some North American headlining shows may not offer CD upgrades.

Con l’annuncio di I Am Easy To Find è stato anche rilasciato il primo singolo estratto dal disco intitolato You Had Your Soul With You, che potete ascoltare subito dopo la fine del trailer.
