A track off the forthcoming album from The National is available as a free download from their website. I really like the way they’ve presented the download options, being as blunt and transparent as possible. Want the 192 kbps version? Download here. Want a bit higher quality plus some artwork? Well, we’re gonna need your email first. Simple and straightforward.

Granted, there is a bit of opacity in that you don’t know what your email address is being used for if you opt for the higher quality download. I assumed it was for the mailing list. But seriously, this is The National we’re talking about. I’d give them my social security number if they asked for it.

PS. Download this track immediately.
