Last weekend, THE NATIONAL played at their own Homecoming Fest in
their hometown of Cincinnati. At one point, frontman/crooner Matt Berninger
announced a new LP, only 5 months after their grand LP First Two Pages Of Frankenstein.

It’s titled LAUGH TRACK and was already on sale, on a limited edition,
at the festival, with no front cover. Now the longplayer is available
worldwide.

Order info here.

Pitchfork says: “The National extends its predecessor’s subdued mood and
reclusive purview. This band still has a fierce rock record in them. Maybe
next time they’ll make it.”

TUTV: Laugh Track is The National by numbers. Not great, not bad. No idea
why they didn’t release it with First Two Pages Of Frankenstein as a double LP.
Commercial reasons, I guess.

Last Friday THE NATIONAL played their own Homecoming Fest in their hometown
of Cincinnati. At one point, frontman/crooner Matt Berninger announced a new LP.
Looks as if his writer’s block is a vague memory.

It comes only 5 months after their grand LP First Two Pages Of Frankenstein.
It’s named LAUGH TRACK and was already on sale, on a limited edition, at the
festival, with no front cover (so far). No exact release date, for everybody, so far.

The band immediately played a track off it after the announcement.

It’s named Dreaming.
Check it out.
