If you’re aching for some new music from The National, you’re in luck.
The band recently released a new song ‘Hairpin Turns’ from their upcoming album I Am Easy To Find (May 17). In addition to the album, The National will also be debuting a film of the same name. The 24 minute film will star Alicia Vikander which director Mike Mills states will be about “playfully hostile siblings that love to steal from each other.”
The accompanying black and white video for ‘Hairpin Turns’ is a sort of continuation of the film and features a dancer, Sharon Eyal, and the band. It’s cool and simplistic and highlights each member and those who helped contribute to the song. Mills commented, “You see all the instruments that make up the song in isolation, even hear them recorded live on set over the album version, kind of like showing you the tracks that make up the song. You see everyone who contributed alone… but your mind puts them together.”
