![]() 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… [...] There are sketchy suggestions of Leonard Cohen, Grace Paley, Nick Cave, John Ashbery, The Smiths and Tom Waits. But The National’s pedigree is becoming harder and harder to trace. They may remind you of distinguished ancestors but, now, The National sound like no one so much as themselves: a meditative rumble that starts in the heart, gets caught in the brain, and resonates outward. [...] What exactly is The National going on about? Why are songs about love and war intertwined with songs about money and office life? Are these songs about all those topics at once? The only certain thing is that, like boxers, The National are making their way in a rough trade—a sport, a pastime, a violent thing. They get cut up and caught up in the ropes. They rip out the stitches though friends urge them not to. I won't lie. The National’s music is not easy to describe, but it’s very easy to listen to. It’s an antidote for uneasy times. Spend an hour with Boxer, and you’ll end up spending many more. -------------------- Nieuwe plaat Boxer is GRUWELIJK. De muziek doet afwisselend denken aan Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Interpol, The Ardace Fire en nog een hoop andere dingen, en is zeer toegankelijk. Luister naar 'Fake Empire' op hun myspace en oordeel zelf. The National doet nu het voorprogramma van The Arcade Fire in de V.S. http://www.myspace.com/thenational http://www.americanmary.com/music/
