the national

A friend of mine asked me if I liked these guys a while ago and I finally had some time to explore their tunes.  Their song Fake Empire really resonated with me.

A review reads, "The rhythm section puts some momentum behind the deep, dark, mumbled impressions of “Fake Empire,” and then the twin guitars of Aaron and Brice Dessner fire off a distorted salvo to offset a punchy horn arrangement. That tension between joy and despair plus Matt Berninger’s distinctive delivery — the gently laconic half-muttered croon of a melancholy manchild with a saber-sharp tongue — have made Brooklyn’s the National a highly regarded sleeper." -Matt Ashare
