The National returned to late-night television with an emotive, haunting rendition of their track “Oblivions” on The Tonight Show’s Monday night episode.
Frontman Matt Berninger brought his signature baritone to harmonize with French folk singer Mina Tindle, as done on the original recording.
Brooklyn Youth Chorus provided backing vocals for the performance. LANZ, James McAlister and Kyle Resnick were also featured guests.
