Beschreibung

The National have worn a lot of hats since their 2001 debut, but they’ve never been able to shake the rural, book-smart, quiet violence of the Midwest. The Brooklyn-groomed, Ohio-bred indie rock quintet’s fifth full-length album navigates that lonely dirt road where swagger meets desperation like a seasoned tour guide, and while it may take a few songs to get going, there are treasures to be found for patient passengers. High Violet begins to take shape on “Afraid of Everyone,” a slow-build, midtempo rocker that expertly utilizes the Clogs’ (guitarist Bryce Dessner’s other chamber pop band) prickly orchestrations, but it’s the punishing “Bloodbuzz Ohio” that serves as the record's centerpiece. Built on a foundation that fuses together TV on the Radio’s “Halfway Home” and Arcade Fire’s “No Cars Go,” its refrain of “I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe” seems both relevant and nostalgic, resulting in a highway anthem that feels like the anti-“Born to Run.” Other standout cuts like “Conversation 16,” “England," and the darkly funny/oddly beautiful closer, “Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks,” trumpet Violet’s second-half supremacy, but even they tremble beneath the "Bloodbuzz" intoxication. ~ James Christopher Monger
