Listen to ‘Trials, Troubles, Tribulations’ Feat. Justin Vernon + Sharon Van Etten
Aaron Dessner isn’t the only member of the National who's founded a music festival – his brother, Bryce, created the MusicNOW festival 10 years ago, annually hosted in the band’s hometown of Cincinnati. To celebrate a decade’s worth of festivals, Dessner and company are releasing the compilation album, MusicNOW – 10 Years, highlighting some of the artists who have taken the stage over the years.
Now, we can enjoy the compilation’s lead track, "Trials, Troubles, Tribulations," by Sounds of the Sound, a supergroup featuring Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, Sharon Van Etten, Matthew E. White, Megafaun and Fight the Big Bull. Listen to it below:
MusicNOW – 10 Years will arrive on March 10 via Brassland Records (check out the track list below), just in time for this year’s festival, which takes place March 11-15. The lineup features the National with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Perfume Genius, Arcade Fire’s Will Butler and Planetarium, a group featuring Bryce Dessner, Sufjan Stevens and Nico Muhly.
