The National Announce New Album For May

The National are set to release the follow up to 2010’s ‘High Violet’ this May, according to Pitchfork.

The record will be released via 4AD, and comes alongside a series of live dates, including some with Dirty Projectors. Currently the closest they’ll come to the UK is Ireland, on June 28th, but there’s a nice Glastonbury sized hole in their schedule too. Nudge nudge.
