The band previewed the new album earlier this week with the release of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/the-national-i-am-easy-to-find-short-film-834586\/\">24-minute film<\/a> <em>I Am Easy To Find<\/em>, which was directed by filmmaker Mike Mills and stars Alicia Vikander. Mill said of the project, \u201cThe National gave me the stems for their songs, some were sketches some were finished and encouraged and allowed me to create my own versions of the songs to score the film. The album then features different versions of these same seven songs \u2014 and nine new songs which sometimes refer to the themes, texts, ideas from the film but are their own work, their own piece of art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National will head out on a tour of North America this week, kicking off the trek May 16th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Courtney Barnett will open several dates.
