The National

I read that the National’s secret already recorded new album is actually the King of Limbs part 2 and THEN they’re gonna release Next Two Pages of Frankenstein. Then the 3rd secret album is the sequel to Evermore with Matt dueting on every song. I read it as I typed it just now.

But will the moon phases play a role in its album rollout? This is the question I have.

Question: have they stopped doing the Cherry Tree exclusive posters for their individual shows? I checked online out of curiosity and the posters for the last two nights are just the ones they were already selling in person. Either way, I hope to get one online cause I doubt I’ll be able to do it in person.

The CT versions are available now -not sure as of when but they’re in the store now and the others are sold out
 
Great show last night! My expectations were pretty low since I’m not a huge fan of the new album. But it was definitely one of the better times I’ve seen them. Wasn’t expecting Cherry Tree. That is a DEEP CUT for a live show.

Also Matt came the closest I’ve ever seen him in the crowd as seen in this video!

I was a little bit bummed that The Beths played a shorter set than their first show with The National since I was really excited to see them for the first time.

Also… I think Matt moved to Connecticut because he said this is his new “hometown show” a couple of times. Did anyone else hear about this?
 
Here's the link to the New Yorker article:

Earlier in the day, Stevens and Bryce had FaceTimed with the Dessners’ older sister, Jessica, who lives in Italy and is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Distance was in the air. These days, each member of the National has settled in a different place. Bryan moved back to Cincinnati. Scott went to Long Island; Aaron is upstate. Berninger and Besser are in the midst of moving back East, to Connecticut. Bryce has lived mostly in France since 2016.

The Sad Dads of the National

For two decades, the band has written music about the kind of sadness that feels quotidian and incremental—the slow accumulation of ordinary losses.

the colors of that one remind me of this masterpiece

A CT variant will be in the shop tomorrow at 10:00am. However, my rule is, I never buy a poster for a show I didn't attend. I have a profolio full of prints waiting to be framed,, and I just can't afford to do them all.

Same. I do the same, although I did buy a Rural Alberta Advantage poster once to MN show I didn't attend. I still have it hung up in my house. I just loved the poster since it was based on one of their songs Tornado 87.
