LWA Blog — the national

The National have a new album out, First Two Pages of Frankenstein. I've listened a couple times, it's kinda more of the same formula they've been using but I like the formula. They add a couple variables into the formula by getting Sufjan Stevens, Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift to turn up. I especially like the Phoebe and Taylor tracks. Not mind-blowing album but good enough. I think they may have peaked with Trouble Will Find me but that's probably a different conversation. Check out First Two Pages of Frankenstein on Bandcamp.
