The National : New Album Track 'Carin At The Liquor Store'
8th August 2017

On the heels of The National claiming their first #1 at commercial radio on the AAA radio chart with ‘The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness’, the band has released ‘Carin at the Liquor Store’, accompanied by a video directed by Casey Reas, filmed by La Blogothèque and edited by Matthew Miller.  Both songs, along with the previously released ‘Guilty Party’ are off the band’s seventh studio album Sleep Well Beast, out on September 8.  Sleep Well Beast is available for pre-order at americanmary.com on CD, double-LP and digital formats.  You can pre-order on standard 2xLP (white vinyl), limited indie exclusive 2xLP (blue vinyl) or CD via 4AD here.  You can pre-order on all digital platforms here.

Following its premiere as Zane Lowe’s World Record on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio, ‘Carin at the Liquor Store’ is now available everywhere.

The National have announced the opening acts for their mostly sold-out world tour.  North American openers include Daughter, Local Natives, This Is The Kit and Adia Victoria.  In advance of the tour, The National played Glastonbury in the second to headlining slot on the Pyramid Stage (“Could The National Be Glastonbury’s Next Headliners?” asked the NME), performed two intimate nights in the round at Hudson’s Basilica and will play this week at Haven Festival in Copenhagen.  For additional information and pre-sale visit www.americanmary.com
