I’m really feeling the 2+2=5 factor right now (hat tip RH), but this one goes to The National. I love Boxer, Alligator, and I’m working through their back catalog.
I’m also really looking forward to the impending release of High Violet. You can listen to it in its entirety at the NY Times for free til April 27th (hat tip Pitchfork).
