The National are releasing a new album, Sleep Well Beast, on September 8 via 4AD. Previously the band shared videos for the album’s first two singles, “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness” and “Guilty Party.” Now another song from the album, “Carin at the Liquor Store,” has premiered on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio as Zane Lowe’s World Record. Check it out below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Pick up Under the Radar‘s current print issue (Summer 2017/Issue 61) to read our new interview with The National on Sleep Well Beast.

The National’s Aaron Dessner produced Sleep Well Beast, with additional co-production by his brother Bryce Dessner and frontman Matt Berninger. It was recorded at Aaron Dessner’s Long Pond studio in Hudson Valley, New York. Additional sessions took place in Berlin, Paris, and Los Angeles. Peter Katis mixed the album.

The National haven’t released a new album since 2013’s Trouble Will Find Me, although the band’s members have kept busy with various side-projects.
