Boxer by The National
Released: May 22 2007
Gothic in its detailing but jaunty in its execution, Boxer is something far richer than orch-pop (translation: rock ‘n’ roll topped with violins). Rather, the band find ways to combine the expressive depth of composed music with the urgency of pop. It's a sound built with guitar, bass, piano and drums and festooned with brass, woodwinds, backing vocals, strings, and organs. A product of dedicated labor, happenstance, and alchemical reactions, the music reveals new layers with each successive listen.
Customer Reviews
Another gem from the National - 
Another record of understated beauty and grace from the National full of sweet songs about growing up, giving in and letting go. A classic that grows more gorgeous with time.
