Boxer

Released 2007Alternative & Indie
Classic

Slow-burning, literate indie rock built on Berninger's baritone and intricate drumming. Understated and rewarding. The album that won them devotion. Released in 2007, it's a key entry in The National's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
