The National

will be releasing a new album in May.



I remember a moment listening to The National when it occurred to me that they're a mature band. Their lyrics are about adults in depressingly realistic situations. Getting too drunk, feeling as if you've betrayed yourself - but dealing with it, and then the coming of age tale that is the song linked above. In a somewhat novel twist for music it's about the coming of age that occurs in your 20s or 30s though.



Back in 2008 they played one of the most noisy, sweaty and rocking shows I've seen.
