The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio

Today is The National playing at Circus and at the same time is Skunk Anansie playing at Berns. The National is a band that I saw playing last summer in Gothenburg at the Way Out West festival, a band that I can not say immediately hooked me as it was a bit much of the leisurely part.

But i gave it a chance the other day and yes, it is soft, but beautiful, can be a good band to choose if you want to relax a bit. I do like the vocal, the baritone style :)

The National is an indie rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 and is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The band's lyrics are written and sung by Matt Berninger, a baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: Aaron and Bryce Dessner and Scott and Bryan Devendorf. Padma Newsome, from sister band Clogs, often contributes strings, keyboards, and other arrangements and instrumental flourishes.

Todays tune "Bloodbuzz Ohio" is the first single from their fifth studio album, High Violet.
