thread for i am easy to find, the 2019 album by the national and film by mike mills

listening for the first time now, and all the arrangements of gorgeous all of the arrangements are gorgeous

this album is really good, though for me it tails off after the halfway mark or so, after the uptempo songs. the drumming on the first 5 or 6 tracks is really, really impressive

“not in kansas” sounds like okkervil river covering leonard cohen, and I’m here for it

live performance really exposes what an exquisite song this is

Excellent show in Cardiff last night. On for about two hours and played over half the new album plus two from Cherry Tree! (Wasp Nest, About Today)

Fantastic version of Bloodbuzz Ohio too with this crashing wall of sound coming in after the chorus

Really like this although the drums sound programmed which seems an odd choice for this band
