“Lemon World” - The National (from High Violet)
Their previous album, Boxer, made me fall head over heels in love with The National, so I’ve been foaming at the mouth a bit at the prospect of their newest release, High Violet. (It’s not due for release until May 11th, but you can get your hands on it early if you’re scrappy and don’t abide by hard and fast rules of right and wrong.) And from what I’ve heard, High Violet is probably going to be a firm contender for one of my favorite albums of 2010. They aren’t necessarily breaking new ground here, but when a band can produce such beautiful, well-crafted songs as these then why mess around with the formula? Get excited for it, folks.
