Our Take
The National's High Violet is like a cup of Earl Grey on a rainy day - comforting, complex, and just a tad pretentious. This album manages to strike the perfect balance between indie darling and mainstream appeal, with introspective lyrics that make you question your own existence and lush instrumentals that make you want to sway along in your living room. From the haunting opening track "Terrible Love" to the anthemic "Bloodbuzz Ohio," The National showcase their knack for creating songs that worm their way into your subconscious and refuse to leave. Matt Berninger's deep, brooding vocals are the perfect vessel for the band's melancholic melodies, evoking a sense of quiet despair that somehow feels strangely comforting. Tracks like "Conversation 16" and "Lemonworld" showcase the band's ability to layer complex instrumentation without ever feeling cluttered or overproduced. The subtle use of horns and strings adds depth and texture to the already lush sound, creating a sonic tapestry that begs to be unravelled. While High Violet may not reinvent the wheel, it solidifies The National's status as one of the most consistent and thought-provoking bands in the indie rock scene. So grab a cup of tea, curl up with this album, and let yourself get lost in its beautifully bleak world. Trust us, you won't regret it.
