Who the National are is anybody's guess, they've swooped over my radar and nestled in the international "mature" indie higher echelons with ease. They look like a bunch of old acid head dudes largely, if the unflinchingly stark portraits of them inside the sleeve are owt to go by. Musically, they play heavy-hearted anthemic American rock with some cracking understated wistful melodies & bristling atmospherics. It all sounds incredibly austere & very New York. If Interpol had babies with Tindersticks the resulting offspring might well come out sounding something like the songs on 'High Violet'. I was expecting to dislike this but there's a serious depth & craftsmanship to these tunes and the song 'Anyone's Ghost' is making me feel a bit weepy. With such a dull name I expected the music to follow suit yet i'm quite taken by this warm-hearted, sad-eyed collection. Nice one lads.
