The National have released “Light Years.” The track is off their upcoming release album I Am Easy To Find, out May 17th via 4AD. The song comes with a video featuring scenes from the short film I Am Easy To Find, directed by Academy Award-nominated director Mike Mills (20th Century Women, Beginners), and starring Academy Award Winner Alicia Vikander. Mills, along with the band, is credited as co-producer of the album, which was mostly recorded at Long Pond, Hudson Valley, NY with additional sessions in Paris, Berlin, Cincinnati, Austin, Dublin, Brooklyn and more far flung locations. The album features vocal contributions from Sharon Van Etten, Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Lisa Hannigan, Mina Tindle and more.

This April, the band are presenting “A Special Evening with The National,” five events happening in Paris, London, New York, Toronto and LA. The evening will include a screening of I Am Easy To Find, Q&A with the band, Mike Mills and more. An intimate performance will follow with special guests Gail Ann Dorsey (Paris), Kate Stables of This Is The Kit.
