According to pitchfork.com rock band The National have released new song from their upcoming album First Two Pages of Frankenstein. The tune is called “New Order T-Shirt,” and to celebrate the song’s release, the band have partnered with New Order for a limited edition T-shirt drop.
In the article the National’s Aaron Dessner describes what the meaning is behind “New Order T-Shirt.”
“To me the line ‘I keep what I can of you’ means something about everyone I’ve ever known or loved. There’s a simplicity to ‘New Order T-Shirt’ that reminds me of our earlier records, but with the full maturity and experience we have now. It feels like a really important song for the future of our band.”
First Two Pages of Frankenstein will drop on April 28 by 4AD and it features contributions from Taylor Swift, Sufjan Stevens and Phoebe Bridgers. Also the band have added tour dates in London, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.
