“The National's moody, atmospheric brand of indie rock bridges the gap between working man and worked-into-a-lather. Their latest album, High Violet, cracked the Billboard charts on the strengths of its propulsive first single "Bloodbuzz (Ohio)," and the band's live shows, which have been leaving fans breathless from coast to coast, have seen it rise from underground favorite to large-scale hot ticket.”
Russ Marshalek, Flavorpill
The National are a band of New Yorkers transplanted from Cincinnati, Ohio: Matt Berninger, Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner, Bryan Devendorf, and Scott Devendorf. What each member of the band does is not that important, but what they do together seems increasingly more so... When last we heard from The National, they'd released and toured behind their Beggars Banquet debut, Alligator, an album whose reception closely mirrored the kind of sounds they made on record - it started out quiet, and ended up very, very loud. Alligator became one of the most widely discussed and critically acclaimed independent albums of 2005 - "album of the year" to one Los Angeles Times critic. It also earned top marks in a poll of America's bloggeratti and rapturous reviews throughout the U.S. and Europe. The National became famous in an alternate universe - one where the gossip rags talk about the people you actually care about. Boxer is better.
