The National has been one of my favorite bands for a couple of years now and lately I’ve been binge listening to only their music. High Violet was released in 2010, but the songs are quintessentially The National with Matt Berlinger’s deep voice and the Dessner brothers’ guitar riffs echoing in the background. Some of my favorite songs on the album are “Sorrow”, “Afraid of Everyone”, and “Bloodbuzz Ohio”. Have a listen to High Violet if you’re ever in the mood for smooth rock and beautiful instrumentals.
