The National are the focus of a new VR documentary that takes fans behind the scenes of their new studio album Sleep Well Beast. It’s called “The National: Something Out of Nothing,” and it’s available on the New York Times’ VR app on Oculus, or as a 360º video on desktop via the Times’ site. Directed by Oscar nominee Marshall Curry (Point and Shoot; If a Tree Falls), the video oscillates between their Hudson Valley studio and a gig in Copenhagen, Denmark. Viewers can watch the band’s creative process, and later join them on stage during their performance. The National embark on their world tour beginning September 16. They will also be participating in a national concert event to raise awareness about the refugee crisis by playing intimate shows in people’s homes.
