The National are set to release “I Need My Girl” as the next single from their acclaimed 2013 album Trouble Will Find Me. Even more exciting than that, however, is its B-side: seeing the Brooklyn group take on a Perfume Genius track.
Matt Berninger and co have delivered a pretty impressive (not to mention quite euphoric) full-band rendition of “Learning” from Mike Hadreas’ 2010 LP of the same name. You can listen to that below and buy the digital single here.
Meanwhile, The National are hosting a covers contest for its A-side with the winning prize $500. Entrants can find more info here.
Why not take a listen to the original too:
