The National have shared another new track from their forthcoming album.
Fresh cut ‘Day I Die’ comes alongside a new video. It’s the latest song to be lifted from ‘Sleep Well Best’, which is set for release on 8th September.
The clip is directed by Casey Reas, who created custom software to stitch together 18 time-lapse photo series of 5,000 images shot during the band’s rehearsals at Le Centquatre in Paris.
“A flickering color layer abstracted from broadcast television signals augments the black and white footage,” he said in a statement. “The images are played back at 12fps, near the threshold of the persistence of vision.”
So there we go. Check out ‘Day I Die’ below.
