High Violet

Released 2010Alternative & Indie
Classic

Lush, melancholic and immaculately crafted, their commercial breakthrough. Anthemic in a restrained way. A modern indie staple. Released in 2010, it's a key entry in The National's run.

On vinyl: A vinyl-revival-era release, so fresh pressings are usually easy to find new.
