Recommended Music Download - Boxer by The National

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
