If you've composed about fifteen moderately introspective songs, you intend to record them and you want them to sound like a National record, all you have to do is call Aaron Dessner, and the final result will undoubtedly be very good (even if a little repetitive). Among other things, Dessner often brings along some friend or relative, such as Bon Iver, Marcus Mumford, or his brother Bryce, exactly as happens in the new album signed by Gracie Abrams. This time Taylor Swift is not there, but only because she had already been involved in the previous work, when the two…

The singer-songwriter served as the artistic advisor for the cultural institution’s National Symphony Orchestra for nearly a decade, before stepping down in 2025 around the time that Trump was appointed chairman.
