The National have shared a new song from their forthcoming album First Two Pages of Frankenstein. It’s called “New Order T-Shirt,” and to coincide with the song’s release, the National have partnered with New Order for a limited edition T-shirt drop. Find the shirt here and listen to the song below.
“To me the line ‘I keep what I can of you’ means something about everyone I’ve ever known or loved,” Aaron Dessner said in a statement. “There’s a simplicity to ‘New Order T-Shirt’ that reminds me of our earlier records, but with the full maturity and experience we have now. It feels like a really important song for the future of our band.”
First Two Pages of Frankenstein is out April 28 via 4AD. It features contributions from Taylor Swift, Sufjan Stevens, and Phoebe Bridgers. The band have added shows in London, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Washington, DC. Find their updated itinerary below.
