The album is released on May 17th on 4AD. I Am Easy To Find is the bands eighth studio album and the follow-up to 2017s GRAMMY®-award winning release Sleep Well Beast. A companion short film with the same name will also be released with music by The National and inspired by the album.
As the albums opening track, You Had Your Soul With You, unfurls, its so far, so National: a digitally manipulated guitar line, skittering drums, Berningers familiar baritone, mounting tension. Then around the 2:15 mark, the true nature of I Am Easy To Find announces itself: The racket subsides, strings swell, and the voice of long-time David Bowie bandmate Gail Ann Dorsey booms out”not as background vocals, not as a hook, but to take over the song. Elsewhere its Irish singer-songwriter Lisa Hannigan, or Sharon Van Etten, or Mina Tindle or Kate Stables of This Is the Kit, or varying combinations of them. The Brooklyn Youth Choir, whom Bryce Dessner had worked with before. There are choral arrangements and strings on nearly every track, largely put together by Bryce in Paris”not a negation of the bands dramatic tendencies, but a redistribution of them.
