the national - all the wine

on april 12th, the national released their latest (and best) album to date entitled "alligator" on beggars banquet. although the overall mood of the album is pretty dark and gothic, the band manages to throw in a handful of rather upbeat songs to keep things from being too depressing. beautiful songwriting both musically and lyrically. like all the favorite parts of my record collection combined into one album. recommended if you like: nick cave, the arcade fire, crooked fingers.
