The National Announce HIGH VIOLET 10-Year Anniversary Triple LP

The National have announced they will be releasing a 10-year anniversary expanded edition of their 2010 album High Violet, on June 19th, 2020. Originally released May 11, 2010, the critically acclaimed fifth studio album features the now-classics "Terrible Love,""Bloodbuzz Ohio,""England," and perennial show closer, "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks." In addition to the 10 original tracks, the triple LP package includes a third LP which includes tracks never before available on vinyl, including "Wake Up Your Saints," an alternate version of "Terrible Love,""Walk Off" and more. The vinyl comes in three different versions, Standard (white & purple marbled vinyl), Cherry Tree (white & purple split color vinyl), and Vinyl Me Please (white & purple splatter vinyl). See full tracklisting below and pre-order HERE.

To celebrate the announcement, The National will share their D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus-directed film, "The National - 'High Violet' Live From Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM)," shot May 10th, 2010, the night before the release of the album. Fans can watch the performance beginning at 5:00PM ET today on the band's YouTube channel.

The band also announced this week that all profits from their webstore and fan club enrollment will be directed to subsidizing the lost wages for their twelve crew members until the end of this crisis. "Our crew are the lifeblood of our touring operation and have become family through the many years we've worked together. As uncertainty looms over the state of the live concert industry, we will direct all profits from merch sales through our webstore, new Cherry Tree fan club enrollments, and sales from the Cherry Tree members-only store to support our crew members throughout this crisis to the best of our ability.
