La band capitanata da Matt Berninger ha annunciato la pubblicazione di “Day of the Dead”, colossale album tributo alla band un tempo guidata da Jerry Garcia che sarà disponibile – sotto forma di cofanetto da cinque CD, cofanetto in vinile in edizione limitata e in formato digitale – a partire dal prossimo 20 maggio: in lavorazione da anni, il progetto promosso dai National si avvale dei contributi di – tra gli altri – Wilco, Flaming Lips, il titolare dei Bon Iver Justin Vernon, Anohni (già Antony di Antony and the Johnson), Kurt Vile, Bonnie Prince Billy, Lucinda Williams, i senegalesi Orchestra Baobab, il già leader dei Pavement Stephen Malkmus e i War on Drugs, oltre che alla storica chitarra ritmica e voce degli stessi Grateful Dead Bob Weir. I proventi dalle vendite dell’operazione discografica – cinquantanove canzoni per un totale di sei ore di musica – saranno devoluti all’associazione benefica impegnata contro la diffusione e per la cura dell’HIV Red Hot.
