It hasn’t been easy to sit on this one the past few days, but now we can officially unveil “Lean,” the National’s new song for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. As with previous OST contributions (“Exile Vilify” for Portal 2, “Think You Can Wait” for Win Win, et al.), this cut works their own brand of brooding magic regardless of the project. That said, the outro feels well primed here for a stirring, dystopian adventure (read: nightmare). Stream their latest piece adorned by hints of regal orchestration above.
