The National - First Two Pages Of Frankenstein

First Two Pages Of Frankenstein is the ninth studio album by American indie rock band The National, released in April 2023 via 4AD Records.

The National is comprised of two sets of brothers - Bryce and Aaron Dessner, Scott and Bryan Devendorf - and Matt Berninger.

Anchored by evocative melodies and an enthralling lyrical narrative, First Two Pages Of Frankenstein signals a thrilling new chapter in the band’s beloved discography. The eleven song album was produced by The National at Long Pond Studios in upstate New York and features guest appearances by Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers and Sufjan Stevens.

First Two Pages Of Frankenstein channels the group’s revitalized chemistry into a body of work that beautifully balances elegant musicality with The National’s more idiosyncratic impulses.

This album is an indies record store limited edition on red coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeve, pressed in Australia via 4AD and Remote Control.
