I almost saw The National live but the day of the gig I ended up in the Emergency Department trying to work out whether I was dying. I wasn’t. But I didn’t feel up to going to the gig that evening.
Hopefully, I’ll get another chance because I love their particular blend of depressing indie rock. I’m also a fan of Phoebe Bridgers so this particular track really hits the spot for me. And that “All I am is shreds of doubt” lyric is a thing of beauty.
While working on this post I discovered that The National have released two new albums this year. I haven’t listened to either of them. I’m going to have to rectify that soon.
