  • Watch the National's Vibrant New 'Sleep Well Beast' Video
    Blistein, Jon. “Watch the National’s Vibrant New ‘Sleep Well Beast’ Video,” Rolling Stone, December 14, 2017 Watch the National’s Vibrant New ‘Sleep Well Beast’ Video The National‘s new video for “Sleep Well Beast,” the title track off their Grammy-nominated album, is a densely layered collage of city buildings, outdoor landscapes and people. The frantic movement of the visuals provides a fitting complement to the song’s angular production. Casey Reas directed the video, with designer Luke Hayman and photographer Graham MacIndoe. In an interview with Billboard, National singer Matt Berninger explained how Reas put together the video using MacIndoe’s pictures. “If you pause at any time in the video, you see a number of different levels of information happening. He’s using a number of different algorithms and tools. It’s a combo of programming, tech and the strange ways you can make that organic. It’s just a bunch of stoner nerds who are into art and rock.” The National also announced they were launching a new festival, Homecoming, in association with MusicNOW. The two-day event will take place April 28th and 29th in the band’s hometown of Cincin- nati, Ohio. The National will curate the lineup, which will feature over 20 artists across two stages in Smale Riverfront Park, as well as other venues throughout the city. The National will perform during both night’s of the festival as well. Weekend passes go on sale December 15th via the festival’s web- site. The National released Sleep Well Beast in September.

  • Writer Carin Besser on Composing Lyrics for the National
    To help you grow your creative practice, our website is available as an email. Subscribe May 17, 2019 - As told to Brandon Stosuy, 1971 words. Tags: Music, Writing, Process, Collaboration, Time management. On writing lyrics for the National Writer and editor Carin Besser on collaborating with her husband Matt Berninger, finding the right words for a song and a singer, and how a band is like a family. What’s your process generally like for writing lyrics? Matt [Berninger] mentioned to me that you had an even bigger role on the new album. Does the band give you an instrumental to write lyrics to? Or does Matt start a draft and you revise? It has been different on every record, but it almost always starts with a musical sketch from the band. Maybe some ideas and phrases have collected and are hanging around in notebooks, but usually those are just things to start with, or play around with. They almost always have to change into something else before they’ll work in a song. On every record there have been a handful of songs that Matt and I work on together—sometimes he’s put something aside and I pick it up for a while. Sometimes he’ll have just a chorus and I’ll try to write verses, or sometimes there are just mumbles and nonsense words that we both record and trade. Maybe I do some mumbles, and then he’ll go and sing over it and say, “Look what you wrote!” He’s very encouraging like that, especially when he doesn’t want to work all alone on something.

  • RAGNAR KJARTANSSON & the NATIONAL a LOT of SORROW 27 JUNE – 23 AUGUST 2015 OPENING: 26 JUNE, 6-12 PM Here's What Happene
    RAGNAR KJARTANSSON & THE NATIONAL A LOT OF SORROW 27 JUNE – 23 AUGUST 2015 OPENING: 26 JUNE, 6-12 PM Here’s what happened: You meet someone and play them your current favourite song, only to find out that it’s their favourite, too. Yes! Then you listen to it forever – or at least for six hours. If you don’t just have a weakness for pop music, but also for melancholy, and if you’re also a visual artist called Ragnar Kjartansson, then you might ask the band (in this case, The National), whether they would like to play the song (in this case, Sorrow) in New York’s MoMA PS1 non-stop for six consecutive hours – and then you make a film about the whole thing. This is the impact of these six hours: Exhaustion sets in, the song begins to change under the weight of time and the musicians begin to experiment cautiously. There are clashes and friction between pathos and irony, trance-like states set in and break off, until a new, collective experience between emotion and reflection, of presence and duration becomes possible. And if you prefer, you could also simply hear and see a literally wonderful concert. On view downstairs, under the repeated rhythms of Sorrow, Kjartansson’s most recent series of paintings is on show. Die Nacht der Hochzeit, watercolours of dark starry skies, and A Lot of Sorrow are both comprised of ever varying repetitions of the same subject. Painting and drawing is an essential part of Kjartansson’s practice, despite being best known for his large scale durational performances and video works.

  • Matt Berninger on Patience
    October 27, 2016 - Matt Berninger is best known as the vocalist for The National, a group that's performed at small clubs, large festivals, and for President Obama (and, next week, for Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton). He's also in the group EL VY with Brent Knopf of Menomena and worked with his younger brother Tom and his wife Carin Besser (who used to be the New Yorker's fiction editor) on the 2014 documentary, Mistaken for Strangers. He and Carin are currently developing an episodic TV series. It stars Tom. As told to Brandon Stosuy, 3623 words. Tags: Music, Adversity, Beginnings, Inspiration, Success, Anxiety. Matt Berninger on patience I was an artsy kid. I took art classes in high school; that was my main thing. I loved art, but I was also kind of brainy. When I went to college, I decided I was going to be a doctor. I was in pre-med for one year at Miami University of Ohio. I hated it. I wasn’t bad at it, but I hated it. The next year, I switched to sculpture. Pre-med to sculpture is a pretty big leap. Then I realized that maybe being a sculptor wasn’t going to be enough. I didn’t love it enough. So I quickly pivoted to graphic design. It was right before graphic design became a household word, where basically anybody with Photoshop could call themselves a graphic designer. Graphic design sounded sexy. It sounded cool. It was somewhere between art and being a professional. I’d be making album covers and posters for cool things.
