The National released their excellent new album, Sleep Well Beast, back in September via 4AD. It was our Album of the Week. Now they have done a session for Spotify where they cover Cat Power’s “Maybe Not” (a song from her 2003 album You Are Free) and also perform Sleep Well Beast‘s “Carin At the Liquor Store.” Listen below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Read our recent interview with The National on Sleep Well Beast.

Previously the band shared videos for the album’s five singles, “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness,” “Guilty Party,” “Carin at the Liquor Store,” “I’ll Still Destroy You,” and “Day I Die.”
