The National<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0were everywhere this past week in support of their just-released album Sleep Well Beast<\/strong><\/em>. They performed the entire album live for NPR<\/a><\/strong>, performed\u00a0Day I Die<\/strong><\/em> on Colbert<\/strong><\/a>, and most recently four songs on CBS This Morning<\/strong>. Watch below as the band performs those songs live on CBS This Morning<\/strong>, presented in the album’s order below. The System Sleeps In Total Darkness<\/strong><\/em> is one of the best songs they’ve ever released, and live it is both nuanced (those background, Brian Wilson<\/strong>-influenced vocals) and incendiary (Aaron Dessner’s<\/strong> ravaging guitar solo, Matt Berninger’s<\/strong> vocal fervor, and Bryan Devendorf’s<\/strong> drumming–wow!).<\/p>\n
