Background


The title of the song stems from Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, in New York City; Ditmas Park is the location of The National guitarist Aaron Dessner's studio where most of the album was written and demoed.[2] The song is a representation of the change in the band's sound, most noticeably less usage of the banjo and more utilization of electric instruments. The song is described as a breakup song.[3]


Music video


The music video for the song showcases the relationship between a Ukrainian Cossack and his horse. Directed by Alex Southam, the video was shot in Kyiv, Ukraine.[4] The band is also seen performing the song throughout the video.
