Today The National unveiled the video for “Hey Rosey”, a track from I am Easy To Find, the band’s eighth studio album and the follow-up to 2017’s GRAMMY®-award winning release Sleep Well Beast. The track features the vocals of longtime David Bowie collaborator Gail Ann Dorsey while the video stars dancer Sharon Eyal, Co-Founder, Co-Artistic director and choreographer of L-E-V Dance Group, who also starred in The National’s “Hairpin Turns” video. The “Hey Rosey” video is the latest installment of visuals directed by Academy Award-nominated director Mike Mills (20th Century Women, Beginners), who also created videos for “Hairpin Turns”, “Light Years” as well as a 24-minute film, also called I Am Easy to Find, starring Academy Award Winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl, Ex-Machina).

Mike Mills had this to say about the video:
“I had always loved the work of Sharon Eyal, especially her improvisation. Luckily she was also a fan of The National and we began talking about her doing some dance work around the new record. For Hey Rosey, we asked her to be a continuation of Alicia Vikander’s character in I Am Easy To Find – a side of that character we didn’t see in that film, the unconscious of that character, but really left that for Sharon to interpret. I think in subtle, strange, but really powerful ways she found movements and gestures that echo the feelings and themes in Hey Rosey.”
