About “Sleep Well Beast”

Sleep Well Beast is the seventh album from American indie rock band The National, released on September 8, 2017.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, lead singer Matt Berninger said about the album:

“[It is] about marriage, and it’s about marriages falling apart. I’m happily married, and but it’s hard, marriage is hard and my wife and I are writing the lyrics together about our own struggles and it’s difficult to write, but it’s saving my marriage. Not saving my marriage, my marriage is healthy, but it’s good for everything! And so it’s gonna be a strange record, and I’m crazy about it.”

The record won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2018 Grammys held on Jan. 28, 2018.
