Re: The GD Music Archive
Seconding James Holden - he's pretty ace.
Got The National's latest album Boxer for Christmas. It's splendidly sad and moody and thoughtful, all spilt coffee and rain and lamplit streets. The singer's voice is a fabulously rich, abrasive baritone. Sounds like Richard Hawley singing for Elbow - always melodic, but textured, quite poetic and sometimes surprising - something like that, but distinctly American as well.
You get the drift: I rather like it.
