The National’s ‘Terrible Love’
Music — By Andrew Evans on 11/03/10As detailed a week or so ago (here), The National are a mere two months away from releasing the follow up to 2007’s Boxer. Up until recently there was little from High Violet to get stuck into – despite the fact that the band have been playing Runaway live for almost a year now – but with the group’s appearance on U.S talk show Late Nigh With Jimmy Fallon yesterday that all changed.
So here it is, a stop-you-in-your-tracks rendition of High Violet’s opening track Terrible Love. It’s not a massive departure from the sound we heard on Boxer – chiming guitars, propulsive rhythms, huge swells of crashing brilliance – however it would appear that everything has been turned up a notch or two.
Also, here is a beautifully stripped back version of Runaway, the studio version of which is set to be something very special.
May 10th can’t come quick enough.
