For too long The National have lurked in the shadows of mainstream success, people claiming they were too boring but anyone with who cared to listen could see past this and everyone, including themselves knew that they rightfully belonged elsewhere. It is with their fifth album “High Violet” and more specifically, the lead single from this album “Bloodbuzz Ohio” that the 5 piece deservedly make the long awaited leap forward. Lead singer Matt Berninger’s distinctive baritone hits its most effective peak here; whilst the pounding drums lead this song deep into the consciousness of everyone listening. The prominent but minimal sounds that the rest of the band produce perfectly help to create the euphoric feeling that the lyrics paint about the elated feeling of returning home.
