Alligator
Beggars Banquet
INDIE
BEGGARS BANQUET’s latest signing THE NATIONAL release their new album ‘Alligator’.Described by UNCUT as “a genuine treasure” The National are five New York based friends from Ohio, who started making music in 1999. To date the band have released two albums ‘The National’ and ‘Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers’, which won critical acclaim from Uncut (Best Albums Of The Year), NME and THE SUNDAY TIMES. The new album, was engineered by PAUL MAHAJAN, who has worked with the YEAH YEAH YEAHS and TV ON THE RADIO. MATT BERNINGER\'s potent baritone intones about matters fraught, funny and sad, but the record ?s not simply gothic or miserablist - more like the plays of TENNESSEE WILLIAMS, it ?s full of peculiar intimacies and awkward grace. They\'re stuck between the country and the city, but not in the suburban or exurban senses, their music reveals the parallels between small-town verybody-knows-everybody drama and big-city alienation. For fans of THE TINDERSTICKS, INTERPOL and THE WALKABOUTS. PITCHFORK “band\'s nocturnal vision of American pavement and deteriorated personal relations is engrossing, revealing itself slowly, peeling back the luxuriant layers and exposing intricate detail”.
