New Music From The National’s Aaron Dessner For BAM’s Next Wave Festival
This song is keeping me awake.
At the end of October, Bryce and Aaron Dessner of The National are going to perform in this year’s annual Next Wave Festival at BAM as “The Long Court.” The project will include work by visual artist Matthew Ritchie and original music by the Dessner brothers. Also signed up for the performances are Kim and Kelley Deal of The Breeders, Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond, Matt Berringer (lead singer of The National), and a 12 piece orchestra.
Below is a sample of some original music by Aaron Dessner for the 70 minute Long Court performances. The gorgeous instrumental (that will eventually feature vocals by Kim Deal), is perfect for staring at the clock at 2am (apparently), and makes the $20 price tag on this event seem like a typo.
I’m moving to LA next month and won’t make it to this. I’m pretty sure this is what they meant when they said I would miss New York.
