Album Review
This Ohio-based band strikes a lush, adorable balance between the country-pop of bands such as Jayhawks and Golden Smog and the gloomy, depressing crooning of Tom Waits. Lead singer Matt Berninger manages to transcend leveling the fine background with some reflection and introspection on "Cold Girl Fever" and "Watching You Well." The country hues touched on in "American Mary" are only surpassed by the album's perfect song "Theory of the Crows," a morbid waltz through loneliness and loss. Throughout it all, the band manages not only to exceed their pigeonholed genres but gives a fresh perspective with brilliantly crafted numbers. Starting up where Wilco left off with their Summerteeth album, the group delivers a generous heaping of Americana and alt-country. Brilliant.
Customer Reviews
fever?
i heard this band a few years ago, saw them live and was blown away. poetic, melodic and beautiful. cold girl fever is a truely beautiful song. if there was any justice in this world the national would be heard by so many more people. up there with the wordplay of nick cave with a little nick drake thrown in. so good, so underated. listen, and love
Simply the best band around
I stumbled upon this band about five years ago and so, so wish it had been earlier. They are quite simply the best band around. I have to see them live and will do no matter what the next time they are in the U.K.
