The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio

Bloodbuzz Ohio by The National

3...according to our on Thu 29 Apr, 2010.

I can't say I've been particularly impressed with The National in the past though they are generally held in high regard by press and punters alike. I've always thought of them as a bit of a Violent Femmes rip-off infused with overly dramatic modern production techniques. 'Bloodbuzz Ohio' only confirms this for me but it's by no means a bad tune. Sorta like a US version of Doves with a better vocal delivery. The B-side is also pretty good too but the winning element for me is the outstanding Mark Fox sleeve art. It's well swish.

“One of the most important bands of their generation” – NME.

The 7” (limited to 750 copies only) comes backed with a brand new song ‘Sin- Eaters’, recorded at The National’s own studio in Brooklyn, and mixed by Patrick Dillet at Kampo in New York.

The artwork features work by acclaimed Ohio born New York based artist Mark Fox.
