I was first introduced to The National on the Letterman show (sidebar - his little music producer person has been doing a great job getting some interesting acts lately). They are one of these bands with like 17 people in it - like having one guy that plays the maracas exclusively (an exaggerated example). They are super scruffy, look like they buy all their wrinkly, musty looking clothes by the pound, and have a tremendous sound. The lead singer's voice is hypnotic. Sorrow is my current favorite song by the band, and I will be doing further exploration of their music catalog. I suggest you do too. Give 'em a try...
