Drenched in evocative melodies and a captivating lyrical narrative, "First Two Pages of Frankenstein" marks a thrilling juncture in the band's musical odyssey. Crafted in collaboration with The National at Long Pond Studios in upstate New York, this 11-song album unveils a rich tapestry of sound, complemented by notable guest appearances from the likes of Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, and Sufjan Stevens. Following the success of the top-five hit "I Am Easy To Find" in 2019, the creation of "First Two Pages of Frankenstein" faced initial setbacks as lead singer Matt Berninger navigated a creatively challenging period. Yet, this proved to be a catalyst for the band's rebirth, as guitarist/pianist Bryce Dessner describes it as a "new era for the band," forged by a renewed approach and a fresh perspective. Anchored by resilience and artistic evolution, this album promises to captivate listeners with its innovative spirit and sonic allure.
