This is a short EP compilation of the recent live performances of new songs by the band The National -- meant to help fans sort through the new material in an orderly fashion. The songs here range from an old live favorite that has been reworked during the latest tour (Rylan) to three leftover tracks from the SWB sessions, and Light Years, possibly the youngest of the songs here. The quality of these recordings range between pro-audio live streams to cellphone bootlegs by fans (I'll list the sources as soon as possible). The criteria that I followed was to use best and most complete audio available online. Some rough edits here and there as my pc is kind of cranky and stupid at audio editing. If you have a better source recording or suggestions to improve this project, please let me know!
