Hear Another New National Teaser Titled “The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness”
The National seemed to tease a new album Tuesday with a video containing new music. The video featured a TV news-style info crawl with the repeated phrase “Sleep Well Beast.” Underneath that phrase was another: “The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness.” Today a second teaser has appeared on the band’s Instagram, also titled “The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness.” This one is more uptempo, marked by viscerally piercing blasts of electric guitar. Check it out below.
