Got 18 minutes to spare? You could do much worse than checking out this Tiny Desk session The National recently did for NPR.
Situated at the radio station’s own office, which looks more like an indie library, the Brooklyn band ran through cuts from the recently-released new album Trouble Will Find Me. More specifically, they performed ‘This Is The Last Time’, ‘I Need My Girl’, ‘Pink Rabbits’ and ‘Sea Of Love’.
You can watch the entire thing below. The band announced earlier today that they’ll play a surprise London show with Local Natives at the end of June.
