The National have announced that their new, still untitled record will be out in May. This is the band's follow up to 2007's acclaimed Boxer.
According to an interview with Absolutepunk.net, Manchester Orchestra drummer Jeremiah Edmond has left the band. Edmond tells the music site, "Basically, there were several things building up to it. The most important one on a personal level would be that I was getting burnt out from being on tour constantly. I've been married for two years, and I've spent a majority of those two years away from home. [I'm] ready to finally build a life with my wife at home. Support her more than I have been. She would never ask me to [leave] the band and has always been supportive, but for me on a personal level, it was being ready to be home." I wish Jeremiah all the best of luck, we will miss him dearly in the band.
