The National

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010

The National earned Best of the Year raves and new fans with Boxer, a 2007 album fueled by dizzying sonic arrangements and singer Matt Berninger's moody baritone.

The Brooklyn-based band joins us in WNYC's Greene Space to play songs from High Violet, a follow-up album set for release on May 11.
