Watch the new video for our song ‘Hey Rosey’ starring Sharon Eyal in the video section of americanmary.com.

Directed by Mike Mills and produced by La Blogothèque.

“I had always loved the work of Sharon Eyal, especially her improvisation. Luckily she was also a fan of The National and we began talking about her doing some dance work around the new record. For Hey Rosey, we asked her to be a continuation of Alicia Vikander’s character in I Am Easy To Find – a side of that character we didn’t see in that film, the unconscious of that character, but really left that for Sharon to interpret. I think in subtle, strange, but really powerful ways she found movements and gestures that echo the feelings and themes in Hey Rosey.” – Mike Mills

Juicy Sonic Magic is a live three-cassette box set from our September 24th and 25th, 2018 Greek Theatre shows in Berkeley, CA. The Berkeley shows were taped by producer and engineer Erik Flannigan using The Mike Millard Method, which replicates the vintage analog recording equipment the legendary taper used in the ’70s and ’80s.

The triple-cassette box set will come out November 29th exclusively as part of Record Store Day Black Friday. There is also a forthcoming short documentary about Millard and the process of taping the Berkeley concerts from the audience, directed by David DuBois.

On April 22, 2019, we took the stage at NYC’s famed Beacon Theatre for “A Special Evening With The National,” one of a series of five unique sold-out events in Paris, London, New York, Toronto and Los Angeles where we performed songs from our new album and Mike Mills-directed short film I Am Easy To Find starring Alicia Vikander.

Now we are thrilled to announce the release of The National: I Am Easy To Find, Live From New York’s Beacon Theatre via @AmazonPrime Video and The National: Live From New York’s Beacon Theatre (#AmazonOriginal) EP via @AmazonMusic.  Both the film and digital EP will be available this Friday, August 23rd.

This concert documentary includes a complete performance of the album, special only to the Beacon show, with guest appearances from the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Julien Baker, Kate Stables of This Is The Kit and Mina Tindle.
