Here’s a nice recommended download for the day. A little bit of rock, a little piano, and an awesome voice: Boxer by The National. You can read some of my random thoughts below, and/or just stream some samples from anywhere.fm under the playlist TGIM: 9/3/07. Feel free to tell me what you think of The National or even suggest other artists in the comments below.
The National - Boxer
I’ll keep this one short. This is my first introduction to The National, and I got to say I’m impressed. His voice is guttural and raw. Piano makes an appearance throughout. Standouts include Fake Empire, Squalor Victoria
, Mistaken For Strangers
, and Slow Show
.
They reminded me of (at times): Sufjan Stevens, The Walkmen, Interpol
Be sure to check out all of my music recommendations!
Before you leave, take a look at this “unofficial” video of Fake Empire…
