The National "Hairpin Turns"

The National have released a new video for I Am Easy To Find album track “Hairpin Turns,” the clip featuring Gail Ann Dorsey and Lisa Hannigan, alongside a Mills directed music video with vocal performances from Dorsey, Mina Tindle, Kate Stables and featuring dancer Sharon Eyal, co- founder, co-artistic director and choreographer of L-E-V Dance Group.

“The video is a very simple portrait of the band (and the friends who helped make the song) and the song itself: You see all the instruments that make up the song in isolation, even hear them recorded live on set over the album version, kind of like showing you the tracks that make up the song,” shared Mike Mills.  “And you see everyone who contributed alone, including Gail Ann Dorsey, Pauline Delasser (aka Mina Tindle) and Kate
Stables – but your mind puts them together. The dancer Sharon Eyal is sort of a continuation of Alicia

Vikander’s character from the film I Am Easy To Find. We thought of her as Alicia’s unconscious, or her
shadow self – that has her own life in this space.”
