The National

On November 29, 2017, The National performed live at the KEXP studio in Seattle, showcasing a set that primarily featured songs from their album "Sleep Well Beast," which had been released two months prior, in September 2017. This album marked a significant moment in the band's career, as it received widespread critical acclaim and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. Noteworthy is that "Sleep Well Beast" explored new sonic territories for the band, incorporating more electronic elements and experimentation compared to their earlier works. The live performance captured the band's ability to convey deep emotional resonance, and songs like "Nobody Else Will Be There" and "Guilty Party" reflected the album's introspective themes, which resonated with their dedicated fanbase. The intimate setting of KEXP further amplified the band's connection with their audience, solidifying their reputation as a compelling live act.
