In an interview with NME, The National’s Aaron Dessner stated that the follow-up to the band’s latest release, Trouble Will Find Me, will be “raw” and “simple.”

Describing Trouble Will Find Me as extremely detailed, Dessner explained that he would like the band’s next work to be very simple and under produced. “We’re actually thinking for the next album we make a very raw, un-produced simple record, that nobody will like!” he said.

Dessner also said that some tracks that didn’t make it onto Trouble Will Find Me may be included on the upcoming record. “It might mean a more louder, more live record that is less produced and more, just like, raw and shredding,” he said.

Earlier this week, The National revealed the song “Lean,” which will be included on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack.
