The band's debut is exquisitely wrought... -- Washington City Paper About the Artist A band of Ohio expatriates living in Brooklyn, The National are whiskeyed and wearied intellectuals with a penchant for wistful melodies and existential angst. Their debut album features many songs about women. Water serves as an extended metaphor for loving, losing, and growing up (sort of). RIYL: Leonard Cohen, Afghan Whigs, Guided By Voices, Will Oldham, Tindersticks, and possibly even Joy Division. The National have brought a little bit of the Midwest back east and theyve brought their songs with them. For that you should be thankful.
