If you are a fan of The National, then you are never at a loss for new material as these guys never seem to stop putting out new music. In between their jam packed tour schedule that they have been on since the release of last year's album High Violet, they have found the time to write and record an exclusive track for a new independent film. The Thomas McCarthy-directed film Win-Win stars Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan, is in theaters now and has gotten great reviews.
The song "Think You Can Wait" is a piano-fronted ballad featuring the backing vocals of Sharon Van Etten. The emotive whisper of Matt Berninger's baritone is the draw here, sitting firmly on the low rumble of drums and bass. Strings drift in with the chorus as once again Berninger's accepted defeat hangs heavy throughout. You can download it for free by clicking the arrow on the widget below. Bonus: You can watch the annoying video below that includes blooper footage from the filming. I am not sure who made the decision to include the laughter of the cast on the audio mix for the video, but hopefully they have had a good scolding.
