‘Sleep Well Beast’ is the seventh studio album from Brooklyn indie-rock veterans The National, which I had no idea was on the way but was so very pleased when I found it on Spotify over the weekend.
Existing National fans are going to froth over a new album no matter what, but if you’re not one of those you may be a little be harder to impress. Either way I’d suggest consuming this album in front of a warm fire or laying outside soaking up some good old Vitamin D, as Matt Berninger woos us yet again with his deep brooding voice.
The National’s ‘Sleep Well Beast’ is available everywhere now via Remote Control Records & 4AD.
