The National-Boxer ****1/2Matt Berninger, Bryce Dessner, Aaron Dessner, Bryan and Scott Devendorf have been slowly perfecting their sound over their past few albums, and with Boxer, I truly feel The Nation have hit on what it is they were aiming to achieve. Complexity meets minimalistic vocals and instrumentation and lyrics to create a feel more than a sound, and an atmosphere may be a better term. Boxer is an album to get lost in, much like Miles Davis' Porgy and Bess. It is an album to free your mind and just let go with. The opening song 'Fake Empire' is one of the most magnificent gems ever recorded. Both socially conscious and touching. 'Mistaken For Strangers' is uniquely played. 'Squalor Victoria' aside from having, what could be the perfect title, is easily the albums focal point. 'Slow Show' brings the band into new territory, much different then all their previous work. 'Apartment Story' is without comparison.What may be most surprising is that the most impressive and attention grabbing thing about the album is the drumming. It's fresh, and original in a time of trite, and shopworn musicianship. It helps to push the entire album to that next level.The National's Boxer is among some of the best music heard since the turn of the century. Highly recommended.
