The National

Boxer

back in stock like rem when they were good the national's superficially simple songs have a real depth and resonance the national formed in 1999 when five friends from cincinnati ohio met again after all of them had relocated to brooklyn ny they are aaron dessner guitars bass bryce dessner guitar scott devendorf guitar bass bryan devendorf drums and matt berninger vocals for years the band had received critical praise but it wasnt until 2005 alligator that a wider audience finally discovered them 'alligator' ended up in the higher echelons of scores of yearend critics lists and the band found themselves selling out large venues across europe the uk and the us written over the course of thirteen months at their homes in brooklyn ny 'boxer' is the result of a lot of hard work and marks a new chapter in the bands career mostly recorded at tarquin studios in bridgeport ct it was then produced and mixed by the band and peter katis interpol spoon 'boxer' hits as high as 'alligator' but is a different record just another classic album from a band on top form
