The National – Trouble Will Find Me 2xLP Vinyl Record

Striving to achieve more with each project, The National have accomplished a well received, critically acclaimed, more accessible release with “Trouble Will Find Me”. 

In January 2012, guitarist Aaron Dessner was thrown into a state of fatigue by his newborn daughter. Punch-drunk, he shuffled into the band’s studio, where he amused himself writing musical fragments that he then sent over to vocalist Matt Berninger.  Recalls Matt of Aaron, “He’d be so tired while he was playing his guitar and working on ideas that he wouldn’t intellectualise anything. In the past, he and Aaron’s twin brother, Bryce would be reluctant to send me things that weren’t in their opinion musically interesting, which I respected, but often those would be hard for me to connect to emotionally. This time around, they sent me sketch after sketch that immediately got me on a visceral level.”

From beginning to end, Trouble Will Find Me possesses the effortless and unself-conscious groove of a downstream swimmer. It’s at times lush and at others austere, suffused with insomniacal preoccupations that skirt despair without succumbing to it. There are alluring melodies, and the murderously deft undercurrent supplied by the Devendorfs.
