Boxer by The National

Released: May 22 2007

Gothic in its detailing but jaunty in its execution, Boxer is something far richer than orch-pop (translation: rock ‘n’ roll topped with violins). Rather, the band find ways to combine the expressive depth of composed music with the urgency of pop. It's a sound built with guitar, bass, piano and drums and festooned with brass, woodwinds, backing vocals, strings, and organs. A product of dedicated labor, happenstance, and alchemical reactions, the music reveals new layers with each successive listen.

Customer Reviews

Another gem from the National -

Another record of understated beauty and grace from the National full of sweet songs about growing up, giving in and letting go. A classic that grows more gorgeous with time.
