Earlier today, Brooklyn indie torchbearers the National played a live session for Toronto’s Q1 LIVE where they played two new songs, “Rylan” and “I Need My Girl.” No word on whether they’ll be on any sort of official release. Hear ‘em below.
“Rylan”
“I Need My Girl”
CBC Radio’s site has also promised videos of the performances.

Love these! Though Berninger’s got some sort of weird accent thing going on in “I Need My Girl.” Like Springsteen or something.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Roilan R-o-i-l-a-n is i believe what the man said.

They never fail to make me smile.
Last night at the Toronto concert, Owen Pallett joined them for I Need My Girl.
My heart stopped a little bit. It was beautiful.
Just got to love these new songs…they´ll make my saturday night even better!
The National are immune to “bad songs”. They never fail.
Berninger’s voice is so badass.
I just saw them in concert and they sang “I Need My Girl”! It was AMAZING
