Here’s something to put on your calendar: The National‘s fifth album is entitled High Violet, and it comes out May 10th in the U.K. and May 11th everywhere else (both via 4AD). Here’s the snazzy official site. We interviewed band leader Matt Berninger about the forthcoming full-length in December. Read that in the studio chat here.
