Good news fellow National fans. The Ohio transplants, Brooklyn dwellers will release a new album in May: The National have announced that their next record will be out in May via 4AD. This is the followup to 2010's excellent High Violet. Their summer tour in support the album will include dates with Dirty Projectors and a homecoming gig at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, plus dates in North America and Europe. They're also playing a venue called the National in Richmond, Virginia, which is pretty funny.
After the dates, watch the National play "Terrible Love" for Pitchfork.tv.

Great news. Love The National since the day I listened to their gig on NPR Radio by an accident in 2007. "Boxer" was my album of 2007. I've seen them twice in 2010 and 2011. Hopefully they'll tour in Europe later this year.
Matt Berninger can kill me with his voice!

For anyone who isn't aware, The National might just be one of the best bands in existence, and I say this aware of Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys ect.
This is awesome news, thanks lennon

Can't wait for this album. High Violet was my favourite album of 2010.
