The National has announced their forthcoming new album, I Am Easy To Find, is set for release on 17 May. Along with the album announcement, the band has released the record's leading single, 'You Had Your Soul with You' featuring the vocals of long-time David Bowie collaborator Gail Ann Dorsey.

I Am Easy To Find is the band’s eighth studio album and the follow-up to 2017’s Grammy-award winning release Sleep Well Beast. A companion short film with the same name will also be released with music by The National and inspired by the album.
