Over the past few weeks, Brooklyn-based indie-rock group The National have teased us with preview releases of two songs off of their new album Trouble Will Find Me. Earlier in the month, The National released “Demons” accompanied by a stop-motion video of a man sketching the album art for Trouble Will Find Me: a woman’s head cut in-half by a mirror. Last Thursday, The National released “Don’t Swallow the Cap” on YouTube.
Both “Demons” and “Don’t Swallow the Cap” are phenomenal songs that capture the very best of The National’s dark, melodic and heart-wrenching music. If these two tracks are any measure of what we can expect from the album’s full release, Trouble Will Find Me might just be The National’s best album yet.
Trouble Will Find Me, The National’s sixth studio album, will be out on May 20 in the UK and May 21 in the US via 4AD. It has been confirmed that Trouble Will Find Me is set to include collaborations from Sufjan Stevens, St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, and Arcade Fire’s Richard Parry.
