Pressmeddelande:<\/p>\n

\u201dMaking something heartfelt is our only concern\u201d, f\u00f6rt\u00e4ljer The National fr\u00e5n Brooklyn p\u00e5 n\u00e5gon hemsida. I en mening summerar de d\u00e4rmed inte bara sin egen musik, utan s\u00e4tter fingret p\u00e5 den nerv som pr\u00e4glat 2000-talets v\u00e5g av amerikansk, expressiv indierock.<\/p>\n

Det handlar om n\u00e4ra livet-upplevelser, om musik som vill f\u00f6rmedla n\u00e5got k\u00e4nnbart. Men d\u00e4r samtida fenomen som Yeasayer, Band Of Horses och Local Natives st\u00e5r f\u00f6r det naturn\u00e4ra och folkliga, representerar The National n\u00e5got mer elegant, n\u00e5got f\u00f6rfinat, och framf\u00f6rallt n\u00e5got uppriktigt utel\u00e4mnande.<\/p>\n

Mitt emellan mainstream och underground, p\u00e5 avst\u00e5nd fast n\u00e4ra, rastl\u00f6s men \u00e4nd\u00e5 gripande, sk\u00e4r musiken f\u00e5ror p\u00e5 st\u00e4llen i m\u00e4nniskors k\u00e4nsloliv de inte alltid vill exponera. S\u00e5ngaren Matt Berningers omskakande baryton ber\u00e4ttar om utel\u00e4mnande mot en fond av bitterljuva molltoner som skapar lika visuella som emotionella sinnebilder. Man ska akta sig f\u00f6r The National om man \u00e4r r\u00e4dd f\u00f6r att p\u00e5minnas om sin egen l\u00e4ngtan och sina sk\u00f6raste hemligheter.<\/p>\n

Men p\u00e5 n\u00e5got s\u00e4tt kan inte v\u00e4rlden v\u00e4rja sig. Med genombrottseposet Boxer (2007) bara n\u00e5gra \u00e5r bakom sig har The National sett sina urbana bek\u00e4nnelser komma l\u00e4ngre \u00e4n n\u00e5gon hade trott. S\u00e5v\u00e4l R.E.M. som Arcade Fire har bett om deras turn\u00e9s\u00e4llskap, och l\u00e5ten \u201dFake Empire\u201d valdes att tons\u00e4tta Barack Obamas segerm\u00f6te i Chicago den d\u00e4r natten f\u00f6r drygt tv\u00e5 \u00e5r sedan.<\/p>\n

Och med High Violet (2010) har The National slipat det djupbl\u00e5, dramatiska uttrycket s\u00e5 att den som vistas i dess n\u00e4rvaro f\u00e5r vara med om ett av de d\u00e4r tillf\u00e4llena n\u00e4r musik inte bara blir underh\u00e5llning, utan ett uttryck f\u00f6r m\u00e4nsklighet.<\/p>\n

Vi ser ut genom f\u00f6nstret p\u00e5 natthimlen. Ljusen fr\u00e5n storstadskv\u00e4llen spelar mot de l\u00e5gtg\u00e5ende molnen, och The Nationals soundtrack sammanfattar vad vi hoppas p\u00e5 men inte alltid n\u00e5r.<\/p>\n
