Product Overview
The National - Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers (CD) The NationalÙs second album, ØSad Songs For Dirty LoversÙ (2003) proved a leap forward from 2001Ùs eponymous debut, showing a band adept at delivering warm embraces and gut punches in equal measure. With word of mouth now spreading on the band, critics proved equally enthusiastic. Pitchfork in their glowing review called it a ÜGorgeous train wreckÝ that Ülives up to its blunt title [with] Matt BerningerÙs self-effacing barbs matched by the bandÙs equally potent hooks,Ý while Uncut also became early champions, saying the album was ÜA genuine treasure... Livid as a bruise, this is brave, desperate, beautiful music.Ý TRACKLISTING 1. Cardinal Song 2. Slipping Husband 3. 90-Mile Water Wall 4. It Never Happened 5. Murder Me Rachael 6. Thirsty 7.
