The National - Boxer











Photo


Artist:
The National


Review:
Let's talk about the drummer a minute. Bryan Devendorf's the name.
He plays in the National, who do brooding Leonard Cohen-Nick
Cave-style melancholy, except he's not brushing the drums
elegantly, he's pounding, yet he amps up the piano,
strings and guitar. He's a huge part of the reason the National
built up a global reputation with their excellent 2005 album,
Alligator, and on Boxer he's even louder, hence
better. The songs are subtler, statelier, with Matt Berninger's
baritone...
