The National are one of our favorite bands here at SoAm, as anybody who listens to the podcast has undoubtedly realized. The New York based….there are a lot of people in the National… have a signature sound that evokes bands like Joy Division and Portishead (to my ears at least). In all honesty, if you are reading a music blog, then this band needs no introduction.
“Terrible Love” is the first track we have heard from the band’s upcoming album High Violet, which is due on 5/11. The video above is from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and was posted to the show’s website late last week (to my knowledge, it hasn’t actually aired on the television box yet). I enjoyed the slow build quality of the tune, although I must admit I found the resolution to be a bit typical to my ears. I really would prefer it if bands would find the cojones to keep quiet songs quiet some of the time.
