About this album

Trouble Will Find Me is a rich, anxious peak for The National, sharpening their brooding indie rock into some of their most affecting songs. Released in 2013, the album extends the band’s reputation for literate, emotionally knotted songwriting while finding a more immediate melodic pull than many of their earlier records. Produced with help from longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner, it balances Matt Berninger’s dark, searching lyrics with layered guitars, steady rhythmic drive and memorable hooks. Songs such as I Need My Girl and Don’t Swallow the Cap helped make the album one of the band’s most enduring and widely admired releases, reinforcing their status as a defining indie rock group of the 2010s.
