The National: "Exile Vilify"
For those who aren't as in-tune to the gaming world as others, this isn't the first time The National has contributed an exclusive song to a video game, and furthermore, the second time they've contributed to the Portal series of games. "Exile Vilify" is a piano and string-drenched lament that appears in Portal 2, but judging by the single's artwork, may have originated as a High Violet b-side. Either way, it's the kind of track that emphasizes atmosphere and build over everything else, making it a good fit for the at times similarly structured world of video games. Give it a listen over at Stereogum.
High Violet is available now.
