The National - The Virginia
I am generally not a fan of bands releasing live content without any unreleased songs. Though The National’s The Virginia - EP does have a few unreleased songs, it still reeks of a band trying to capitalize on newfound popularity. But it’s The National, so I’ll let it slide. That said, I wanted to share with you a few tracks from the album. The first is “Mansion on the Hill” is a slow-rolling, ‘Ada-esque’ track that will ultimately leave you breathless in the wake of its beauty. “Tall Saint” is certainly a more urgent and charged piece that reminds you that The National haven’t lost that edge from Alligator.
