The New York Time’s is streaming The National’s new album “High Violet” right now until April 27th!
The album will be released May 11th. I, for one, cannot wait for it. I’ve been a huge fan of them since I saw them perform at Richard’s on Richard’s back in 2007 before their then release “Boxer” exploded in popularity.
I’ve been keeping an eye out for their inevitable return to Vancouver. With all the bands performing at the Sasquatch Music Festival, I’m surprised they haven’t released a tour date here like other acts (Massive Attack, LCD Soundsystem, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and The Temper Trap to name just a few). Patience, grasshopper…
Anyways, definitely give the new album a listen. I’ve been listening to it all morning and it’s epic.
