The National Light Up with High Violet
Things are getting bigger and bigger for Brooklyn’s finest, The National, with the release of their 6th album, High Violet. The National are currently signed to 4AD, a British independent record label, but the band is still recieving a new level of media attention with High Violet. Bandmates Matt Berninger, Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner, Bryan Devendorf, and Scott Devendorf are hitting the road hard this year with dates scheduled in the US and Europe from June through November. Critics have hailed High Violet, much likes its predecessors, as another fine example of the band’s brilliance saying “The National rarely miss; when they aim for powerful or poetic, they get there.” The National have also been frequenting the late night television seen playing “Afraid of Everyone” on Dave Letterman and “Anyone’s Ghost” on the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. It’s great to see such a great indie band get the attention it deserves eleven years after their formation. Expect to be seeing a lot more The National.
