Some reddit sleuthing apparently indicates there may be new music by the end of the week, or at least an album announcement. They've redone their website as well. It's about time. It's felt far longer than four years.

Well Beast is either a monster who lives in a forgotten well out in a forest, or a beast who has come to terms with his tumultuous past through therapy and meditation

Me too. I just really enjoyed my first listen to "The System...". I gotta give it a couple more listens, but I might like it a lot.

Went to bed thinking it was okay, and I've had it on repeat most of the morning. I think it's great. It's got the patented National gloom, but there's a lightness or playfulness here they've rarely had on record. I feel like I can hear Matt's EL VY influence.
