The National are on a high this year releasing songs for various soundtracks.
First they release a song called Think You Can Wait from the soundtrack to Win Win.
Now the band just released a single for a videogame called Portal 2.
I will say this, it is kind of weird for a band like The National will contribute a song for a videogame.
Since videogames and The National don’t really match really well.
I am not into videogames but it is giving them a mass broader appeal for their music.
Exile Vilify does has that slow evoking National sound.
Call it a indie rock ballad from them.
Have a listen to Exile Vilify.
Here is a funny trailer for Portal 2.
Here is what the song sounds like
I like both singles they have released this year.

It is surprising to see they contributed to a video game, but at least it’s a rad game.
