The National have announced details of their fifth studio album and a very special one-off show in London.
The Brooklyn band are currently mixing the as-yet-untitled record in the studio ahead of its release in May 2010.
To mark its release, The National make a one-off UK appearance at the Royal Albert Hall in London on May 6th.
The UK show will be followed by a gig at the Zenith in Paris with Pavement on the 7th and a headline date in Berlin two days later.
