The National have released their latest album on New Music Friday – have a listen on Live4ever.
The arrival of The National‘s new LP First Two Pages Of Frankenstein has come with a lyric video for its track The Alcott, a duet between Matt Berninger and Taylor Swift.
“Matt wrote the main part of the song to some music I had written which Taylor had heard and I knew liked, so I thought it might be something she would really click with,” Aaron Dessner said.
I sent it to her, and was a little nervous as I didn’t hear back for 20 minutes or so. By the time she responded, Taylor had written all her parts and recorded a voice memo with the lyrics she’d added in a dialogue with Matt, and everyone fell immediately in love with it. It felt meant to be.
