The National announce new album, tour dates

The National are returning in 2013 with new music and a full tour itinerary. In May, the band plans to release a full-length follow-up to 2010’s High Violet via 4AD. There’s no title, tracklist, cover or tracks just yet, but sit tight. May’s not that far away.
