The National

[Bennnnn]

Also considering the kind of long wait for the record to drop, I hope they don’t release too many singles. I mean I can’t help myself I’ll listen to all of them, I just don’t want 50% of the album heard before it drops. Cause I am pretty familiar with a handful of the songs already. Maybe the next single will be the one from the other snippet though, which I might assume is the opening track.

Definitely going to the LA Greek Theater show. I love it when I can walk to concerts!

Glad I saw them last year, because driving to Madison on a Tuesday doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

Here come the Swifties...

Ha. Yeah, I just got a text from my oldest with that Taylor Instagram post. If it gets the band more listens, that's great.

Well shipping to France is in the 16€ range... Feels good to be a club member. Will wait for a local to have the record in store.

Where can you find the red version? I don’t know where to go. Rough Trade sold out of it already

 

[Bennnnn]

Never mind! Found it at Brooklyn Vegan

Luna Music has red indie version up. I'm sure it will start popping up on all indie stores soon.

what does Aaron mean by this...

"Weird Goodbyes is also part of something very special, we made a mountain of music we love "

Sounds to me like there's a deluxe edition of the album

Or more pages of Frankenstein. A multi-album made up of lots of colab songs?

Kinda going the Gorillaz route? Albums heavy with features then one mostly solo?

new Cherry Tree email also drops the hint about Weird Goodbyes

“this will be an initial physical release of the song ahead of its future home.”


I mean I feel like…another album isn’t out of the question. “A mountain of music we love” really points to an entire other album. I’m not crazy

 

[Pergo]

It definitely seems to me like that would mean another album to. Unless it ends up on a movie soundtrack or something like that, but "its future home" has to mean another album whether thats a The National album or something else.

Possibly a remix/“our friends took our song stems and made them into full songs” album with most songs sung by the guest collaborators?

 

[oldschoolkirby]

Stuck with with CT version but agree it’s a bit underwhelming. The new song is great! Will definitely be at that Mission Ballroom show

A supergroup with National, Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, Bon Iver & Sufjan Stevens.
