There’s been leaks of the new album by The National floating around the web, and if you’ve been able to resist it, The New York Times has provided you with the full album to stream if you want it. And you do, it’s good.
High Violet is the The National’s fifth album and incorporates the trademark baritone wonderfulness of lead singer Matt Berninger along with their slow moving but penetrating songs. The album is slated to release on May 11, 2011.
They’re also currently touring (all summer long in the US and Europe) to support the new music. Take a look at all their dates here.
Here’s the National with their utterly delicious track “Daughters of the Soho Riots” off their 2005 album Alligator. It’s the kind of song that brings up childhood memories, past loves and big soggy tears in your eyes.
