SOHN - Lessons


It's been roughly a year since we've heard anything from Viennese producer SOHN, who lifted the brand new "Lessons" from his forthcoming full-length debut. The limber, delicate track ebbs between sun-soaked R&B and subtle electro inspiration, a la How To Dress Well at its best.

Check the track out below, which will be released as a digital single September 23 and on 12" in November, courtesy of 4AD.

The National perform "Don't Swallow The Cap" on Letterman


Before today's release of the super-anticipated Trouble Will Find Me, The National hit last night's Late Show with David Letterman to perform the LP's early standout "Don't Swallow The Cap".

Last night's live version featured a ring of string and complimentary horn pieces, as well as Doveman, aka Thomas Bartlett coming in on keys, making for a fairly grand performance. Watch the whole thing below, and grab Trouble Will Find Me today(!) on 4AD.

Bonus: The National just announced the band will be performing with Dirty Projectors June 7 at the Mann Center in Philadelphia. Tickets for the event will start at $39.50, and will be sure to sell out quickly.

New The National video - Sea Of Love

While the buzz for Trouble Will Find Me is getting uproariously high ("Album Of The Year" considerations have been passed around already), The National have released the first official video from the record for "Sea Of Love." No it's not that Cat Power song which is still pretty damn great. But this one is good too. Bonus, this is possibly the only video from the group that might be considered "funny."

Check out the video below and grab Trouble Will Find Me May 21 on 4AD.

The National perform "Sea Of Love" and "I Need My Girl" on Fallon


The National, performing two new tracks from the upcoming Trouble Will Find last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, debuted "Sea Of Love" and "I Need My Girl" as a bonus online exclusive. The first, the sweeping and National-esque rapture of "Sea Of Love," fit well as the TV showcase. The latter, however, worked endearingly well as slow-time showcase, demonstrating the band's unreal penchant for heart-wrenching burners.

Check out both performances below and grab Trouble Will Find May 21 on 4AD.
