The eleven tracks on The National‘s new studio album ‗High Violet‘ were recorded at the band‘s own studio in Brooklyn, with further recording and mixing at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, Connecticut with Peter Katis.
The music on ‗High Violet‘ is wide-ranging in its moods, by turns intimate and rough, expansive and spare, full of stark angles and atmosphere. Matt Berninger‘s singing - wild, half-broken, sly – evokes a feeling of being haunted, by love, by paranoia, by something just out of reach. ‗High Violet‘ may be The National‘s most thematically twisted record to date but it somehow also manages to be their most infectious and immediate.
A nervy, melodic, explosive and beautiful set of songs that find The National at the height of their collaborative powers.
"High Violet" is available exclusively to independent retailers on violet coloured double vinyl. In stock now, priced £20.
