In March, The National announced their eighth album, I Am Easy To Find. At the time, they also revealed that the record would be accompanied by a short film of the same name. Now that the release of the album is just a few days away (it’s out this Friday), they have decided to share the short film.
The band said they decided to make the 26-minute film easily available free of charge in hopes that it would be widely accessible to anybody who wants to see it, writing in a tweet, “We’re delighted to reveal that Mike Mills’ short film ‘I Am Easy To Find’ (starring Alicia Vikander) is available to watch now at https://IAMEASYTOFIND.com. We & our record label @4AD_official have kept the film from a paywall in hopes that you’ll watch and share it wide.”
