New National Song -- A Thousand Black Cities

So I saw an interview with the national recently. They'll be working on a new album this fall. A couple of weeks ago, they debuted a new song called "A Thousand Black Cities" in Denmark. Below is the link. Its not bad quality. My first impression of the song is that it is still unformed. If you've seen the documentary "A Skin, A Night" on the making of boxer, then you know how different the working versions of the boxer songs were compared to their final versions. At one point, Slow Show incorporated different parts of the final version of Slow Show, Brainy, and Blank Slate (which incorporated elements of Keep It Upstairs), so consider this song just a rough demo of what will probably be a final version. Regardless, its still pretty fucking awesome.
