The Boston Globe remarked that The National’s latest album, Trouble Will Find Me, is “a haunted and lugubrious meditation on loss and despair.” Not exactly party tunes, but that hasn’t stopped the indie world from embracing the band’s music with a warm embrace. Rather, perhaps it’s because of the heavy, sincere emotions that they conjure that their art feels much like an old friend.
NPR recently spoke to frontman Matt Berninger about those feelings, where the band has been, where they’re headed, and family ties. Read their full interview here.

As of this morning, fans can finally get their mitts on the latest release from The National. Check out the critic’s lovely words for Trouble Will Find Me:
“The guests on Trouble Will Find Me are equally impressive (Sufjan Stevens, Sharon Van Etten), but the National, no question, are the real stars of the show.” – The Observer
“The National are such a powerfully gifted band, they need no theatrics to deliver an absolutely stone-cold beast of an album. With the music that is on here there is yet another thirteen songs to savor and salivate over until the next batch of songs comes about.” – Delusions Of Adequacy
“The warm but haunting Trouble Will Find Me will surely cement their accession to the rock mainstream.” – The Independent
Don’t miss the band when they come to Madison on September 15 with special guests Frightened Rabbit. Tickets are still available here, but going fast!

That’s quite the setlist! We’ve certainly been to a few shows here and there that seem to resemble marathons more than concerts, but The National‘s recent MoMA PS1 performance will surely go down in history as being in a league of its own.
Pitchfork reports that on May 5, the band played “Sorrow” (a fan favorite from their acclaimed album High Violet) 105 times. In a row. Over the course of six hours. Six. Hours. We’re speechless. Here’s the original:
Are there any other songs out there that you’d voluntarily listen to for six hours straight?
