Terrible Love Photograph by Adam Macchia THE NATIONAL: LIVE FROM THE ARTISTS DEN The soaring, majestic Drill Hall in New York's historic Park Avenue Armory provided an awe- inspiring setting for the National's taping for Live from the Artists Den. The massive space, designed to resemble a classic European train station, hosted a special performance by the Brooklyn-based band, augmented by horns and a string sections. The blistering set featured the debut of numerous songs from the Brooklyn-based band's new album, Trouble Will Find Me, along with electrifying versions of such favorites as "Fake Empire," "Bloodbuzz Ohio," and "Terrible Love." ARTIST BIO Brooklyn-based rock band The National – composed of vocalist Matt Berninger, twins Aaron and Bryce Dessner, and brothers Scott and Bryan Devendorf – formed in Cincinnati in 1999. After the release of its self-titled debut album in 2001, the band broke through with the release of its third album, Alligator, in 2005. The National continued receiving greater critical praise and commercial success with its subsequent releases: 2007’s Boxer was been named one of the “Albums of the Decade” by Pitchfork, and its follow-up, High Violet, landed on “Album of the Year” lists in several publications including Rolling Stone and Time. After a 22-month tour to promote that album, the band took a break to begin work on its sixth studio release, Trouble Will Find Me. In May 2013, the album was released to universal acclaim, debuting at the Number 3 spot on the US and UK charts. VENUE BIO The Park Avenue Armory was built in 1880 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side to serve as the headquarters and social club for the Seventh Regiment of the National Guard, also known as the “Silk Stocking Regiment” because so many of its members belonged to New York’s prominent Gilded Age families. The 55,000 square-foot drill hall was designed by Regiment veteran and architect Charles W. Clinton, and remains one of the largest unobstructed spaces of its kind in New York. .

  • 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.

  • Gonzo Weekly
    2 I have been the editor of magazines on tropical fish, exotic pets, UFOs, cryptozoology, and – of course – music, and there is something that I have noticed. Over the years various publishers have tried to get me to publish “thematic” issues, and this is something that I am loathe to do. For example, in a music magazine like this one, if I were to do a themed “punk” issue, it would immediately alienate all the people who like progressive rock. That is one thing that I am particularly proud of in this magazine; we cover anything, and everything, from anarchopunk to prog, and from folk to experimental jazz rock. In this specific issue there is everything from an interview with Barbara Dickson to articles about Rick Wakeman and Hugh Hopper. But, it is one of the more peculiarly Fortean aspects of magazine publishing that no matter how hard one tries, the vagaries of the space time continuum and Dear Friends, the very nature of the universe itself mean that no matter how hard you try to avoid doing themed Welcome to another edition of the Gonzo Weekly. issues, these appear of their own volition and the I have worked in publishing, on and off, since I first universe decides to present you with a theme, come edited my school newspaper at the age of 10, and what may. whilst I do not wish to claim that I am some sort of Citizen Kane-type publishing mogul, I have had a Once again, look at this issue.
