Taranta by Mina Tindle, live au Trianon

[elvisomar]

Please listen to Kate Stables and Mina Tindle sing a version of "Started Again" (from This is the Kit's 2020 album Off Off On) translated into French. Though British in origin, Stables and her family live in Paris where friend Tindle is relatively well-known as a French folk artist. Tindle is married to Bryce Dessner, songwriter and guitarist for the band The National.

The setting in rural France, the song, the vocal talent all can only be described as idyllic. I had to listen to it three times in a row when I first heard it earlier this evening.

The National Kick Off Two-Night Run in Prospect Park on Wednesday

The National – BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival at Prospect Park Bandshell – June 12, 2019

The National performed a sold-out show at the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festvival at Prospect Park Bandshell last night, in support of their new record, I Am Easy to Find, which has garnered attention for the many guest vocalists who join frontman Matt Berninger on the album. And last night, Berninger was flanked by singers Mina Tindle and Kate Stables for much of the evening, their voices adding a refreshing angle to songs like “Where Is Her Head,” “Oblivions” and “I Am Easy to Find.” The Brooklyn Youth Chorus also made an appearance, adding vocals on several songs, another exciting new element for the band, particularly during their beautiful, haunting outro on “Oblivions.”

Even with many new collaborators joining him, Berninger is still an arresting presence, as he moodily stalked around the stage during the instrumental parts of songs, or expressively used his hands to illustrate his words, clenched fists against his forehead. Berninger was particularly gripping during his stark performance of “Not in Kansas,” which sounded like something of an inner monologue, a secret he was sharing with all of us.

In addition to all the new material, the National also ran through some older favorites like “Fake Empire,” “I Need My Girl” and “The Geese of Beverley Road,” which guitarist Bryce Dessner said they had written more than 15 years ago when they were living just a few blocks away from the Prospect Park stage. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a National concert without a rendition of fan-favorite “Mr. November,” during which Berninger jumped from the stage into the crowd to deliver his signature half-sung-half-shouted chorus. It was a throwback moment in a night of new musical directions, and yet it highlighted how the material, old and new, still works together. Berninger simply climbed back onstage, collected himself, and delivered the last song of the evening, I Am Easy to Find’s “Light Years”—just as poignant as “Mr. November” is bombastic—and both were just right. —Alena Kastin | @AlenaK

The National Play Soon-to-Be-Released Album in Full at Beacon Theatre

The National – Beacon Theatre – April 22, 2019

The National have reached the point in their career where the beast they have created is hungry enough to feast on different media beyond the world of music. With their next moves, they have earned enough confidence to afford to make grand gestures, which is exactly what they’re doing with their soon-to-be-released eighth album, I Am Easy to Find. This time around, the band teamed up with renowned film director Mike Mills for what was originally just intended to be music to accompany a short film. But the collaboration quickly swelled with possibilities as the two creative forces began to feed off of each other. Mills ended up coproducing the new album, and some of the dialogue in the 25-minute short ended up as lyrics in some of the LP’s pivotal songs. Ahead of its proper release, the band and Mills brought the film to the Beacon Theatre on Monday night for its U.S. debut.

As fans shuffled into the historic venue’s aisles, singer Matt Berninger walked out for a brief intro to the film we were about to see. He described the fruitfulness of the National’s collaboration with Mills—mentioning that as a graphic designer with an incredibly keen eye, the director had also provided creative direction for the evening, designing the complete stage show as well as the band’s merch and even their tour laminates. The gorgeous movie follows the life arc of a woman, played by Alicia Vikander, as she struggles to understand the complexities and cyclical nature of life. I’ll keep the description short as the film moves through the character’s life with a quick a fluid efficiency to a swelling and propulsive soundtrack by the band.

After the short concluded, Berninger returned to the stage with bandmate Aaron Dessner and Mills, plus a special moderator, Julien Baker. The chat was quick and friendly, as Baker, who’s previously toured with the National, asked thoughtful questions about this creative partnership. Following a brief intermission, for the purpose of alcohol as Berninger explained, the band returned for a special performance of I Am Easy to Find in full. As those in the crowd had experienced from watching the film, the new songs expand on the direction the National had been building toward on Sleep Well Beast. The songs simmered with lush yet tense orchestral arrangements further cementing the National as one of the all-time great 4:45 a.m. bands. Their music is the perfect soundtrack for that quiet sobering introspection before anyone else is awake to distract you from your soul-searching session.

To bring these new songs to life, the five-piece welcomed a full string section, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and a trio of female singers that included Mina Tindle and Baker. The new songs contained everything there is to love about the band. At times, the arrangements become overwhelming with possibilities as both Aaron and his twin brother, Bryce, layered their dreamlike guitar textures over the propelling rhythm section. —Pat King | @MrPatKing
